Why SPR?
Surface Plasmon Resonance is the reference technique for studying molecular interactions in real time — used in pharmaceutical research, clinical diagnostics, food safety, and materials science worldwide.
Introducing students to SPR connects the physics of light and matter to concrete biological questions. It bridges lecture-hall theory — wave optics, thermodynamics, chemical kinetics — with hands-on measurement that gives immediate, visible results.
No radioactive labels, no fluorescent dyes. SPR experiments are safe, fast, and repeatable, making them ideal for practical sessions with large student groups.

SPR usage is expected to double
in the next 10 years
Training students on SPR today prepares them for a technique that will be central to their careers in research, pharma, and biotech.
Adjustable difficulty — from introductory to doctoral level.
Optical polarization, total internal reflection, surface plasmon resonance, wavelength-dependent response — SPR makes wave optics tangible.
Surface functionalization, antibody–antigen binding, adsorption and desorption — students observe molecular events in real time without labels.
Curve fitting, extraction of ka, kd, and KD — students apply mathematical models to real experimental data and draw quantitative conclusions.
Education offer
A 69-page teaching guide with step-by-step lab protocols, background theory, and exercises — ready to integrate into your course.
The phase-sensitive SPR instrument — compact, USB-powered, with intuitive software. Designed for bench use with no optical alignment required.
All essential supplies for running experiments — fluidic tubing, cleaning solutions, and reagents for surface chemistry protocols.
A set of gold sensor chips — raw and pre-functionalized — designed to be regenerated and reused across multiple sessions.
Designed for the classroom from the ground up — not a lab instrument adapted for education.
Intuitive Ipso-MONITOR software, easy-to-handle chips, compact footprint. Students can run their first experiment within minutes of setup.
Interchangeable microfluidic module with multiple pump and chip options. Adapts to different experimental protocols without changing the instrument.
Patented technology priced for academic budgets. Special pricing and support packages are available for universities — contact us to discuss.
