UV-PIT in one line
UV-PIT is the photo-activated ImmunoLyte process used to prepare antibody-functionalized metallic surfaces.
Technical overview
UV-PIT combines light-triggered activation with oriented IgG functionalization for metallic biosensor applications.
Activation time
ImmunoLyte uses UV irradiation at 254 nm for IgG activation in about 30 seconds.
Practical purpose
The goal is to simplify surface preparation while supporting stable and oriented antibody layers.
How it works
Prepare surface
Use a compatible metallic biosensor surface or format.
Expose to UV
Apply the ImmunoLyte UV-PIT activation step.
Immobilize IgG
Introduce the antibody layer for oriented binding.
Measure
Use the functionalized surface in the selected biosensor workflow.
