Applications

Clearly identify false positives at early stages of your discovery process

Count on Monolith NT.Automated to run your single-dose and affinity screen campaigns. Because it uses MST to measure interactions, the single-dose screen identifies not only hits, but also gives you information about compound‐induced aggregation — super important to keep false positives from entering later stages of the drug discovery process. Additionally, you don’t have to modify the automated workflow of the subsequent affinity screen, because all the steps can be done using the same automation setup used in the single-dose screen.   A single-point screen of small molecule inhibitors with labeled p38 alpha kinase identified five hits A through F (upper panel, dotted lines represent hit thresholds). Next, an affinity screen measured the binding affinities for the 5 hits (lower panel). Four of them had Kds in the nanomolar range, and one was determined to be a non-binder (F).

Software

Software that complements your screening projects

MO.Screening Control makes screening assays setup accessible to everyone in the lab. For those large data sets from screening experiments, MO.Screening Analysis software just might be the right thing to add to your tool box.

MO.Screening Control

Get similar step-by-step guidance that made MO.Control popular. MO.Screening Control, designed specifically for screening experiments, helps with planning sample layout on either 96- or 384-well plates, defining measurement settings and performing measurements.

MO.Screening Analysis

Let MO.Screening Analysis automatically evaluate and identify the hits among thousands of ligands from single dose screens. Identify strong and weak ligands by reporting K_ds in affinity-based screenings.

Consumables

Get great results with tailor-made consumables

Monolith NT.Automated uses capillary chips that adapt perfectly to robotic handling and manual loading alike. The capillaries are manufactured in a state-of-the-art facility and rigorously tested before they are put into the chips. Use Monolith Protein Labeling Kits to get the highest quality data and ultimately, the best outcome.
