LecChip 45-uni

Lectin microarray is a research reagent in which a group of lectins that specifically recognize glycans are immobilized on a glass slide. By reacting fluorescently labeled glycoproteins on the lectin microarray, alterations in the glycan structure of the measured molecule can be picked up from binding patterns of the glycoproteins to lectins. By using an evanescent wave excited fluorescence scanner, molecules binding lectins can be selectively detected without any washing process. The lectin microarray system is especially effective to detect weak interactions between target molecules and lectins.
