One chip, every axis
From the first binder
to the cleared lot.
Antibody affinity, FcRn-driven half-life, Fc-receptor engagement, polyreactivity. All measured directly in serum, lysate, supernatant. No method change from discovery to QC.
MACS® Matchmaker reads every axis on one chip, in the real biology where failure happens.
Applications
Pick your bottleneck. We’ve built the chip for it.
From DNA-encoded library hits and cross-species antibody panels to PROTAC ternary complexes and Fc receptor profiling, every application below runs on the same instrument and workflow. New applications, including biosimilar comparability and complex membrane targets, join the platform as the field advances.
Polyreactivity Panel
Eight developability axes on one chip, in approximately 30 minutes. Catch problem candidates before IND.
FcRn Species Panel
Cross-species antibody half-life prediction on one chip, in approximately one hour. No more surrogate bridging.
Fc Receptor Panel
Activating, inhibitory, and polymorphic Fc receptors on one chip. Effector function in about one hour.
DEL Hit Validation
On-DNA hit validation directly from screen output, in crude lysate or buffer, without resynthesis.
Targeted Protein Degradation
Ternary complex characterization for PROTACs and molecular glues, with cooperativity directly from binding data.
Our platform
Introducing the MACS® Matchmaker
The MACS® Matchmaker powers every application above. It delivers kinetics in the matrix that matters.
Focal molography measures coherent mass density. Specifically bound analyte counts toward signal. Everything else, drift, non-specific binding, sample matrix noise, stays invisible. That is why kinetics in serum, lysate, or crude supernatant come out as clean as in buffer.
Run up to 64 interactions in parallel on a single chip. Cross-species half-life predictions in one experiment. Ternary complexes for PROTACs in lysate. Biosimilar comparability below the SPR noise floor. In hours, not weeks.
The same chip from discovery to lot release. Candidate ranking in early development and biosimilar comparability later run on the same 8-plex format and the same workflow, with no method redevelopment in between. Each ligand sits on eight replicate molograms, returning mean and confidence interval from a single experiment.
Pain to solution
Where conventional methods break down.
Each card below pairs a common bottleneck in conventional kinetics with what focal molography changes about it.
Crude samples
Pre-purification eats weeks. Your binder fails when the matrix changes from buffer to lysate or serum.
Measure directly in serum, lysate, or cell supernatant. No purification, no method redevelopment.
Background masks signal
Labels and NSB hide the real binding event. Real hits slip through as false negatives.
Focal molography reads coherent mass density. Non-specific binding and matrix noise stay structurally invisible.
Multi-week panels
Sequential SPR sweeps stall every decision. Cross-species FcRn, biosimilar comparability, off-rate ranking all wait in line.
Eight pre-conjugated ligands on one chip. The full cross-species panel runs in approximately one hour.
Sub-twofold gaps
Critical 1.5× differences disappear. Below the NSB floor, the data you need to rank candidates is invisible.
Eight within-chip replicates per ligand. Confidence intervals from a single run resolve sub-twofold differences.
One pair at a time
Conventional kinetics runs sample-by-sample. 64 simultaneous interactions stay on the to-do list.
Up to 64 simultaneous interactions on a single chip. One injection series delivers the full panel.
Drift-limited weak binders
Slow off-rates wash away in baseline drift before a clean curve can be fit.
Drift below 0.05 pg/mm²/min. Long association phases stay rock-stable, even at low-µM K_D.
Your next failed candidate doesn't have to be a surprise.
Bring your antibody, your PROTAC, your DEL hit. Run it on a real matrix. See whether the data your decision rests on actually predicts.
How it works
Read the binding, not the background.
Focal molography reads coherent mass density directly. Only specifically bound analyte counts toward signal. Non-specific binding, drift, and matrix noise stay invisible, so kinetics measured in serum, lysate, or cell supernatant deliver the same precision as buffer.
