U-Blot® Lectin Array 95

Lectins are glycan-binding proteins that have been purified from trees, beans, and some fruits. They are highly specific for a given glycan based on their sequence and the different sugar unit structures the glycan contains. The Lectin Array 95 consists of a standard glass slide spotted with 12 identical lectin arrays (1 per well), each containing 95 unique lectins spotted in duplicate, plus positive controls. The slide comes with a 16-well removable gasket which allows for the processing of 12 samples using one slide. Four slides can be nested into a tray, which matches a standard microplate and allows for the automated robotic high-throughput processing of 48 arrays simultaneously. The Lectin Array 95 array provides a powerful new tool for glycosylation determination, drug discovery, and biomarker development, all while requiring limited sample volumes.
