Analytical services for advanced Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) assays

Complete characterization through precise kinetics and reliable results.
We partner with leading biotech, pharmaceutical, and AI drug discovery companies, as well as CROs and CDMOs, to deliver advanced biophysical analysis services, from molecular interaction screening to in-depth kinetic characterization.

K-One: unlocking the full potential of SPR systems.
Powered by our proprietary K-One surface functionalization chemistry, we push the boundaries of SPR, enabling applications previously out of reach with conventional sensor chips. Our coating enhances SPR performance through precise ligand immobilization, optimized orientation, controlled surface density for accurate 1:1 Langmuir fits, and protection of the surface from non-specific interactions, delivering exceptionally clean data with minimal background noise.

Tailored assay design is key to robust data.
At Kimialys, each assay is designed around the specific application and molecules involved, with its own dedicated protocol. From ligand immobilization strategy to instrument calibration, injection sequences, and regeneration workflows, every parameter is carefully tuned to deliver robust, reproducible assays suited to complex biological systems.

5 reasons to work with Kimialys

1

Mastering complex systems

We enable the most challenging SPR assays by optimizing sensor chips with our K-One chemistry, whether the challenge lies in improving signal-to-noise ratio, immobilizing complex biomolecules, reducing avidity effects, or accurately characterizing high-affinity AI-designed molecules.

2

Science without noise

With K‑One, the chip surface is effectively protected from non-specific interactions, minimizing background noise and delivering consistently clean, reliable sensorgrams, even in complex samples.

3

High reproducibility

Stable and controlled ligand immobilization enables repeated injection and regeneration cycles while maintaining full ligand activity on the surface, even under stringent conditions. This stability ensures repeatable results across complex samples such as plasma, serum, or supernatants.

4

Reliable 1:1 Langmuir fit

Our ability to adjust ligand density and ensure homogeneous surface distribution allows working under affinity conditions by minimizing avidity effects or mass transport while avoiding recapture. We can also work under avidity conditions when the project requires it.

5

Flexible immobilization

K-One surface chemistry enables direct ligand immobilization without intermediates, while remaining compatible with capture systems such as streptavidin, protein A/G, anti-Fc and anti-Fab antibodies.
