What it means
Antibody functionalization is the preparation and immobilization of antibodies on a surface so they can recognize a target molecule with stable and reproducible orientation.
Technical overview
For laboratories developing biosensors, the antibody layer is not a cosmetic detail: it defines sensitivity, repeatability and signal stability.
ImmunoLyte role
ImmunoLyte uses UV-PIT photo-activation to support oriented IgG binding on metallic surfaces in a simple, fast workflow.
Why it matters
Oriented immobilization is used to support accessible antibody recognition sites and consistent bioreceptor preparation.
How it works
UV-PIT activation
A brief UV exposure activates the ImmunoLyte chemistry.
IgG contact
Antibodies interact with the activated surface.
Oriented binding
The workflow supports oriented IgG immobilization on compatible metallic surfaces.
Biosensor-ready layer
The surface is ready for detection and measurement workflows.
