A label-free, real-time method for quantifying binding interactions between cellular receptors and ligands, providing critical kinetic and affinity data for drug discovery and epitope analysis.
Learn More →Creative Biolabs' B cell-based calorimetry assay provides a powerful solution for accelerating your project with precise, actionable data. You can expect a clear understanding of B-cell functional states, including proliferation, activation, and metabolic shifts, all in a label-free environment. This allows for superior characterization of cellular responses in contexts like infectious disease research, autoimmune studies, and oncology.
In general, the interaction process between biomolecules often causes heat release or heat absorption. The isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) assay is used to directly measure the amount of heat released or absorbed between protein and protein interactions in solution, which is convenient and widely applied to quantify the binding affinity. The experiment is carried out in an isothermal titration calorimeter at a constant temperature.

Our ITC assay is designed to be highly versatile, capable of measuring interactions between a wide variety of biomolecules, including proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids. This adaptability makes it an essential tool for diverse research and drug discovery projects.
All samples are prepared in solution, eliminating the need for any chemical labeling. This ensures that the binding interaction is measured in its native state, providing you with a more accurate and biologically relevant representation of the molecular event.
The ITC assay requires only a minimal amount of reagent to develop the binding assay. This is particularly beneficial for studies involving rare or expensive materials, allowing you to conserve your valuable samples while still obtaining high-quality data.
Our platform directly measures binding affinity across a broad range, from sub-millimolar to nanomolar. This direct measurement provides an unambiguous value for the binding strength, which is crucial for lead optimization and candidate selection.
