Monitor Ligand – tissue interactions in real-time

Perform real-time binding studies (e.g., affinity determination, immunohistochemistry (IHC), uptake/retention) with LigandTracer by adding an animal organ or fresh/frozen tissue sections directly to the Petri Dish.

Whether you are doing 𝙚𝙭 𝙫𝙞𝙫𝙤 studies on xenografts, human tumour, or organ tissues (like brain, heart, muscle), LigandTracer brings your research one step closer to 𝙞𝙣 𝙫𝙞𝙫𝙤 conditions.

The time-resolved analysis of tissue binders provides new insight into their interaction properties and helps to optimize IHC protocols, including ideal incubation times and concentrations.
