GE Biacore 2000 SPR Analyzer
Sample size (volume): 20 to 80uL
Flow rate: 1 to 100uL/min, adjustable in 1 uL/min increments
90-day warranty
The BIACORE 2000 is a system for real-time biomolecular interaction analysis (BIA) using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technology. The microfluidic system consists of four flow cells, arranged in a serial configuration for single or multi-channel analysis. SPR is a non-invasive optical measuring technique which measures the mass concentration of biomolecules in close proximity to a specially prepared surface. Real-time BIA can be used for studying the interactions of proteins, protein conjugates, nucleic acids, lipid micelles and even larger particles such as wholes cells and viruses.
It measures surface concentrations from a few pg/mm2 and can monitor surface concentration on a time scale down to 0.1s. Application areas for the Biacore 2000 include drug design, monoclonal antibody production and infectious disease research, as well as other basic research applications. Some of the major uses of the Biacore 2000 include:
Detection of binding partners in screening applications
Analysis of multiple binding patterns
Epitope mapping studies
Measurement of kinetic constants
Concentration measurement
Monitoring of enzymatic processes
This analyzer is used and reconditioned. Our technicians test all equipment to confirm that it operates properly and to the manufacturer’s specifications. While we can’t test for a specific analytical application, we will do our best to simulate the conditions under which the equipment will be run. If you have particular testing requirements or requests please let us know and we’ll work with you to make sure these requirements are addressed during testing.

New equipment comes with a warranty from the manufacturer.
How do you test and recondition the equipment?
Testing requirements vary across all the equipment categories we sell. Temperature controlled units are tested with NIST traceable probes and data loggers. Gaskets, external housing, glass, handles, controls and control screens are all thoroughly inspected for integrity and functionality. We test all equipment using the manufacturer's parameters and specifications to confirm that the unit operates properly.
How do products ship from American Instrument Exchange?
We can ship products both nationally and internationally using a well-established network of transporters. Smaller items will ship via UPS. Larger equipment will be palletized and shipped either LTL or air-ride, depending on the specific equipment and/or delivery requirements.
Return and order cancellation policy
American Instrument Exchange will accept the return of any product that is not working as represented and could not be replaced or repaired to the customer's satisfaction during the warranty period.

How does your price matching policy work?
We strive to keep our pricing competitive and reasonable. If you find comparable items for sale at a lower price from other vendors please send us a link and or quote for the item and we'll do our best to match or beat the price.
Can I see the equipment in person before committing to a purchase?
Customers are welcome to make an appointment to view equipment in our warehouse. Given our workload we may not be able to test or clean the equipment prior to your arrival if you have not committed to an order.
1023 Western Avenue is a working warehouse, not a showroom, and customers should dress appropriately and wear closed toe shoes.
Can I ship products that I purchased elsewhere to American Instrument for repair?
Yes – please see our repair services page for more information.
