Sartorius, OCTET-AS, Octet® AS, Offline Biosensor Immobilization Station

Top Features of Octet® AS Offline Biosensor Immobilization Station
Simultaneous and Uniform reagent loading capable of simultaneously and uniformly loading reagents onto all 96 biosensors in a biosensor tray
Enhanced Assay Flexibility and Reduced Incubation Times streamlining immunoassays in lower throughput BLI instruments by offline intermediate assay steps, reducing incubation times

The Octet® AS Offline Biosensor Immobilization Station is designed for use with Octet® BLI systems to reduce assay times while improving the efficiency of the assay. Octet® AS allows the users to process assay steps that do not require online signal monitoring, such as biosensor loading, inter-step buffer washers, or any intermediate assay steps freeing up the instrument time. Key benefits of Octet® AS station include:
Efficient Reagent Loading: Octet® AS has Efficient Reagent Loading, which uniformly loads reagents onto all 96 biosensors or a selected subset. This feature is useful for reagents that don't need online signal monitoring, improving efficiency
Enhanced Assay Performance: The station enables robust, multi-step Octet® immunoassays in lower throughput instruments. Intermediate assay steps can be performed offline, then returned to the Octet® for final analysis steps, decreasing overall incubation times and enhancing assay performance
Versatile Usage: Octet® AS can be installed beside an existing Octet® system and used in tandem or independently. Its compatibility with the Octet® system makes it a flexible addition to any lab environment
Automation Compatible: The system is compatible with automation, allowing for integration with liquid-handling robotic workstations. This compatibility is ideal for automating custom biosensor preparation or offline Octet® assay steps, thereby streamlining the workflow
Compact and Portable Design: Its small and portable design makes the Octet® AS an accessible and convenient tool for various laboratory settings. This feature also makes it ideal for creating large batches of custom biosensors
Reduced Incubation Times: The Octet® AS helps reduce incubation times, which is crucial for fast-paced research environments. By incubating custom biosensors with sample shaking and temperature control in the Octet® AS, sample loading efficiency and reproducibility are improved, further reducing loading times.
