Simple Western instruments are fully automated, capillary western systems designed to resolve proteins based on molecular weight followed by immunodetection. Simple Western Systems replace traditional western blotting workflows by offering improvements in data quality and speed. The enhanced quantitation, reproducibility and throughput Leo now provides makes it possible for scientists to adopt western-based readouts in applications where westerns are not typically used due to inadequate reproducibility and lack of quantitation. Leo offers ELISA-like protein quantitation with the specificity and size resolution of western blotting, enabling new applications for western-based assays ranging from target screening & validation, targeted protein degradation, gene therapy potency assays, clinical biomarker assays, and vaccine development.
"The upcoming introduction of the Leo System reaffirms Bio-Techne's commitment to advancing protein analysis technology. The ability to perform western analysis at this scale is truly game changing and will allow the adoption of Leo as a quantitative immunoassay platform in all stages of drug development and commercialization," commented Will Geist, President of Protein Sciences.
Leo is expected to begin shipping in calendar year 2025.
