What are Peptide Microarrays?
JPT's unique PepStar™ peptide microarrays are comprised of immobilized peptides on glass slides.
Peptide microarrays (or peptide chips) are used for biomarker discovery, immunomonitoring, antibody epitope mapping, multiplexed epitope mapping or for detection and validation of protein interactions. In addition, PepStar™ peptide microarray technology also enables enzyme profiling.
Chemical peptide synthesis is followed by peptide immobilization on glass slides via a flexible linker. Using chemoselective coupling, we generate peptide microarrays displaying directed and covalently attached peptides. Multiple identical copies of each peptide microarray can be prepared with flexible layouts at unmatched prices and turnaround times.
PepStar Peptide Microarrays
PepStar peptide microarrays are available in the classical High-Content PepStar microarray format, displaying up to 6912 peptides in triplicate or in a convenient Multiwell PepStar Format. Multiwell peptide microarrays consist of 21 miniarrays, all spotted on a single glass slide. Each miniarray accommodates up to 188 peptides and can be incubated separately with individual samples using an appropriate slide frame. Despite separate incubation, all miniarrays on the slide can be processed in parallel, requiring only minimal sample volumes. Contact us for further information!
