Additional text

The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator for the following reason:

absence of competition for technical reasons

Explanation: Specific features of the system include the

• Measurements are performed in solution (i.e. no immobilisation is required)
• Capability to quantify interactions in complex solutions (crude extract, serum)
• Means to determine binding constant over a wide range (5 nM - high millimolar) as well as stoichiometry and thermodynamic parameters
• Power to work at low nanomolar concentrations
• Advantage of small sample volumes (20 microliter) coupled with the capacity to run samples in high-throughput mode using standard 384 well-plate
• Used detection modalities based on two techniques: Spectral shift detection and Temperature-Related Intensity Change (TRIC)
• Microfluidics-free
• Mass independent measurement i.e., the measurable molecular weight range is from 101-107 Da
• Measure up to 384 datapoints per run
• Advantage of small sample volumes (20 microliter) coupled with the capacity to run samples in high-throughput mode using standard SBS 384 well-plate format
