PATH® PROTEIN MICROARRAY SLIDES

PATH® Protein Microarray Slides are coated with an ultra-thin nitrocellulose film for the noncovalent, yet irreversible, binding of printed antibodies to the slide surface while maintaining antigen-binding capability. PATH® slides provide maximum reliability, sensitivity, and reproducibility of multiplex protein microarray immunoassays, in addition to reducing background fluorescence and maximizing signal-to-noise ratios.

PATH® slides provide many features of nitrocellulose in a thin film, including:

high signal-to-noise ratio
uniform spot morphology
4-5 logs of dynamic range
excellent immunoassay reproducibility
extended stability and shelf life
individual barcoding options.

Through these benefits, users can gain up to 10X sensitivity and more reliable results across a wide range of analyte concentrations. The individual barcode options provide easy identification and tracking for improved experimental and quality control. PATH® slides can be used for a variety of assay applications:

sandwich immunoassays,
capture immunoassays,
protein profiling and protein characterization.

Films are less than 200nm thick and bound to a standard 75 mm x 25 mm x 1mm microscope slide with a usable surface area of 65 mm x 22 mm. PATH® film slides have an approximate 2-year shelf life in ambient storage temperature.

NOTE: The ‘bronze’ (brown) side of slides only is coated, and the silver ‘mirrored’ side is not. Print on the coated side only.
