The Gold Standard: Antibody Affinity Measurement

Antibody affinity (represented by the equilibrium dissociation constant, Kᴅ) is arguably the most critical attribute for any antibody candidate. It dictates binding strength, specificity, and ultimately, biological efficacy. A precise antibody affinity measurement is non-negotiable for selecting leads with optimal potency and target engagement.

Creative Biolabs offers a suite of cutting-edge platforms to measure a full spectrum of binding kinetics (ka/kon and ke/koff) and affinity (Kᴅ), from picomolar to millimolar ranges.

Core Antibody Affinity Measurement Technologies

Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR)

SPR is the industry's gold-standard for real-time, label-free kinetic analysis. By immobilizing one binding partner and flowing the other over a sensor chip, we can precisely measure the association and dissociation rates, providing high-resolution data on binding kinetics.

Bio-Layer Interferometry (BLI)

BLI is a powerful, high-throughput alternative to SPR. This fluidics-free technology measures changes in the interference pattern of light reflected from a biosensor tip, providing rapid and reliable kinetic data.

Isothermal Titration Calorimetry (ITC)

ITC stands unique as the only technology that directly measures the heat released or absorbed during a binding event. This allows for a direct, in-solution measurement of affinity without the need for immobilization or labeling, providing a complete thermodynamic profile.

MicroScale Thermophoresis (MST)

MST is a cutting-edge, solution-based method that measures molecular motion along a microscopic temperature gradient. A change in hydration shell, charge, or size upon binding directly correlates to affinity.
