ForteBio biosensors are coated with a proprietary biocompatible matrix that is uniform and non-denaturing with minimal non-specific binding. The tips are derivatized and ready for use in a diverse set of biomolecular applications. Biosensors can also be customized for unique applications. Multiple layers can be bound and detected, opening a vast array of approaches to detecting and characterizing biological interactions. To date, over 2.5 million biosensor assays have been run on Octet systems, attesting to the high reproducibility, accuracy, precision and robustness of the platform. Octet biosensors are manufactured in a ISO 9001:2008 certified facility.
Each type of Octet Biosensor is designed to analyze specific biomolecular interactions. A range of surface chemistries is available. Refer to the tables below to select the appropriate biosensor for your needs.

Description |
| AHC - Anti-Human Fc Capture |
Immobilization of human IgG or other human Fc-containing proteins by binding to the human Fc region. Kinetic applications include protein and antibody kinetic screening, affinity characterization (ka, kd, KD), epitope binning, and hit validation. Learn more: download the
|
| AHQ - Anti-Human IgG Quantitation |
Binds specifically to the Fc portion of human IgGs and other proteins containing a human Fc region. Applications include quantitation of human IgG and proteins containing the human Fc region in cell line development, clone selection, process optimization, and production monitoring.
|
| AMC - Anti-Mouse Fc Capture |
Binds the Fc portion of IgG1, IgG2a, IgG2b for capture based immobilization. Applications include kinetic analysis of antibody-antigen interactions (ka, kd, KD), and off-rate screening. IgG3 should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Learn more: download the
|
| AMQ - Anti-Murine IgG Quantitation |
Binds specifically to the Fv(ab')2 portion of mouse and rat IgGs. Applications include quantitaiton of mouse and rat IgG in cell line development, clone selection, process optimization, and production monitoring.
