Molecular Characterization Service—Licor Odyssey Scanner

The characterization of molecules is an important part of the process, enabling the physical and chemical properties of molecules to be resolved. CD BioSciences has excellent analytical staff, years of analytical experience, and cutting-edge instrumentation. Using LC-MS, multiple HPLC, and other techniques, we can accurately quantify/characterize the DAR of coupled drugs, residual small molecules, endotoxins, and more.

Name of the Instrument/Platform

Licor Odyssey Scanner

Introduction

This system is primarily used for western blot analysis, though its applications include EMSA/gel shifts, DNA-stained gels, and more. While this requires the use of specialized antibodies and detection products, the benefits of the system far outweighs the cost. Direct imaging of conjugated antibodies eliminates film costs and allows for a wider linear dynamic range of quantification than chemiluminescence. The LiCOR also achieves a higher signal to noise ratio than other detection methods, due to negligible background radiation from the membrane at the signal wavelengths.

Important Notes

For peak performance, users are suggested to use membranes made of nitrocellulose or Millipore Immobilin-FL membrane a low fluorescence PVDF.

Summary

The LiCOR Odyssey is a highly sensitive scanner operating in the infrared spectrum.
