Surface Plasmon Resonance (2 Channels/exchangeable cuvette)


Surface Plasmon Resonance has been established as a powerful method to monitor label-free biomolecular interactions in liquids. However, today SPR can deliver well beyond kinetics and equilibrium constants: you can expect more from SPR with SPR Navi 200.

Surface Plasmon Resonance has been established as a powerful method to monitor label-free biomolecular interactions in liquids. However, today SPR can deliver well beyond kinetics and equilibrium constants: you can expect more from SPR with SPR Navi 200.With SPR Navi 200 – an incident beam of p-polarized light strikes an electrically conducting gold layer at the interface of a glass sensor (high Refractive Index) and an external medium with low RI (gas or liquid).At a given angle, due to a resonance phenomenon, light is exciting surface plasmons at the interface – resulting in a reduced intensity of the reflected light.A slight change at the interface (e.g. a change in refractive index or nanoscale film thickness) will lead to a change in SPR signal – allowing precise measurements of nanoscale film properties as well as surface molecular interactions.

BioNavis’ SPR Navi 200 System uses an increased angular scan range that produces a complete SPR curve. This increased angular range allows you to simultaneously characterize surfaces in gas and/or liquid. This also allows you to check the quality of user-defined surfaces before sample injection. This broadens the scope of your measurements.In addition to traditional biophysical interaction phenomena, you can characterize optical constants and thicknesses of nanoscale structures.

You can measure:
Surface-molecular interactions, Nanoscale film properties :
Langmuir-Blodgett films Self-assembled monolayers
Spin-and dip-coated layers Non-dielectric films
Physics and material sciences- Bio-material films:
Swelling Adsorption/absorption Membrane properties
Gas sensors:


BioNavis Ltd was established to develop, manufacture, supply and support Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) based instruments and sensors for research and diagnos-tics. The Company was founded in 2006 by private inves-tors and professionals with several decades experience in scientific instrumentation, to take over and further advance the SPR technology primarily developed at VTT - Technical Research Centre of Finland. Counting the previous devel-opment at VTT, there are more than 15 years of accumu-lated development history in the BioNavis SPR technology. BioNavis holds several international patents related to the SPR techniques and its applications.The mission of BioNavis is to respond customer needs by developing sensors, methods and research instruments which have clearly better features and performance as compared to competitors, but with affordable price.

The SPR instruments are mainly targeted to research of molecu-lar interactions, and are used by researchers in physical chemistry, biochemistry, pharmaceutics, biotechnology, and medical diagnostics.SPR Navi 200 has been developed in collaboration with Dr. Janusz Sadowski who has been the main driver in the research of SPR technique at VTT for over 20 years, and Dr. Ulf Jönsson, the founder and former CEO of Biacore, the company that pioneered the use of SPR spectroscopy for protein interaction analysis.BioNavis Ltd is based in Tampere – Finland – and provides worldwide distribution and local customer support via its fully trained and capable global network of distribution partners.
