Biolayer Interferometry (BLI) Service

Introduction

Biolayer interferometry (BLI) is a label-free optical technology used to measure intermolecular interactions. It has the advantages of high sensitivity, high throughput, and low vibration/mechanical noise. This technology uses a biosensor with a coated tip (biological layer), immobilizes the bait molecule on the sensor, and then exposes the biosensor tip to buffer conditions and light to monitor the target molecule in real time by recording changes in light interference. The interaction between the analyte and the bait is directly related to the change in the thickness of the biological layer caused by the association of the analyte. The change in the refractive index of the surrounding medium, the change in flow rate, and unbound molecules will not affect the interference pattern. BLI can provide protein binding and quantitative information, as well as kinetic information about the affinity and stability of the interaction.
