Isothermal Titration Calorimeter

MicroCal PEAQ-ITC
The PEAQ-ITC (MicroCal Technology) is a highly sensitive and user-friendly isothermal titration calorimeter designed for the label-free study of biomolecular interactions in solution, covering a wide range of affinity levels, from sub-millimolar to picomolar levels, with excellent reproducibility. The instrument is capable of investigating 8 - 12 interactions per 8 h day with as little as 10 µg of protein.
Key features include high signal-to-noise ratio ensuring data quality, automated washing for reproducible results, and the ability to measure various binding parameters (affinity, stoichiometry and thermodynamics) in a single experiment in solution without the need for labelling. The accompanying analysis software facilitates experiment design and large data set evaluation.
