About BLItz

Drop. Read. Done. Genius!

BLItz™ packs the power of label-free analysis into an easy to use personal assay system small enough to fit on the palm of your hand. Its Dip and Read™ assays utilize a variety of disposable, ready-to-use biosensors that truly simplify protein characterization, and let you measure a wide range of analytes. All you have to do is give BLItz a single drop of your sample — it does the rest!

  • Analyze column fractions
  • Monitor protein expression
  • Do reagent QC testing
  • Identify mechanism of action
  • Run protein engineering studies

BLItz is powered by BLI (bio-layer interferometry) — the same label-free assay technology used in our Octet® platform — and is utilized every day by protein scientists in drug discovery and development, life sciences and academia. BLI is microfluidics-free, enables direct binding assays without labeling or secondary reagents, lets you monitor binding events in real time and provides excellent specificity — even in crude samples.

Using BLItz is Easy

Just take BLItz out of the box. You can start running protein characterization assays right at your lab bench, right away.

  1. Pipette a 4 µL drop of sample into the sample holder.


  2. Install a biosensor.


     
  3. Select your assay and click GO. BLItz starts giving you results immediately!
