Nicoya provides complimentary Surface Plasmon Resonance support for researchers during COVID-19

SPR expertise to help researchers accelerate development for coronavirus vaccine

KITCHENER, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nicoya, a leading provider of advanced analytical instruments for the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, announced today that they will be offering Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) technical support to all researchers - at no cost - during COVID-19.

The global impact of COVID-19 has made SARS-CoV-2 vaccine development a priority for researchers around the world. Finding a solution involves understanding the molecular characteristics of the virus through structural data, binding affinity and kinetics. SPR technology allows researchers to obtain this data in real-time and without the use of labels.

To help accelerate COVID-19 research and support the scientific community, Nicoya is offering SPR support for data analysis or experimental design at no cost. With this initiative, Nicoya aims to help researchers obtain high-quality binding kinetics data faster so they can better understand disease pathways, lead generation, and candidate validation.
