Benefits of label-free technology | Dr. Tatiana Tiago

Bioassay techniques such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) or bead-based flow cytometry use labeled reagents to detect and monitor biomolecular interactions, typically providing results that are representative of a fixed point in time.
Label-free technology instead uses impedance- or optics-based biosensors to measure the changes that occur upon analyte binding to a ligand immobilized on a biosensor surface. This approach enables the interaction to be monitored in real-time without artificial manipulation of the individual assay components.
In the following video Dr. Tatiana Tiago, Product Manager at Creoptix, explains what label-free technology means for Drug Discovery and what the benefits of this approach are compared to traditional bioassay techniques.
