FAST Slides are glass slides coated with a proprietary nitrocellulose polymer. The polymer binds proteins in a noncovalent, irreversible manner and can be probed using the same method as in traditional blots. The three-dimensional surface of a FAST Slide maintains reactivity of proteins and gives excellent reproducible results. It is usable with fluorescent, colorimetric, chemiluminescent or isotopic detection systems and is compatible with microarray scanners and
robots.
Perhaps the most significant advantage of FAST Slides over modified glass surfaces is that the matrix retains arrayed proteins in near-quantitative fashion. This property translates into antibody arrays with unparalleled sensitivity below 1 mg/ml in antigen concentration. These qualities make FAST Slides the most reliable surface for microarray experiments and provide a high level of confidence.
FEATURES
• Superior protein binding capacity
• Highest sensitivity and dynamic range
• Excellent long-term stability of printed proteins
• Compatible with all detection methodologies
• Compatible with commercially available arraying robots
FAST Slides are suitable for many types of protein microarrays including protein arrays, reverse phase protein arrays and micro-spot ELISAs, also known as antibody arrays. There are tremendous advantages to using FAST Slides for immunoassays over traditional ELISAs including less sample required, better sensitivity, linearity and quantitation. A major advantage of FAST Slide technology is that hundreds or thousands of antibodies or samples can be screened simultaneously. Compared to other microarray surfaces, FAST Slides provide superior binding properties, allowing quantitative detection of proteins over four orders of magnitude in concentration. Our focus on quality at Maine Manufacturing (registered to the ISO9001 standard) ensures production of the most consistent surface possible providing the most reproducible results with every slide, every time.
OPEN PLATFORM
FAST Slides come in five different pad formats compatible with contact and non-contact printing methods and with existing
manual arrayers, robots scanners and all methods of detection, including fluorescent, chemiluminescent, colorimetric
and isotopic. FAST Slides are easy to set up with minimal start-up costs and time.
