What is the TSP (Transferable Solid Phase) and its advantages?
The TSP is a disposable 96 pin device on which solid phase reactions can be performed. It is available with a PolySorp and MaxiSorp surface. The pins are coated by submerging in analyte solution contained in a 96-well plate. Washing and reaction with succeeding antibody or streptavidin conjugates can be performed by transferring the TSP into a washing tray. For hybridoma screening, the TSP is available in a sterile version. Likewise, the TSP can be used for a simultaneous detection of two different molecules in the same solution. Advantages include: identical reaction times on all pins, no need for plate washer/dispenser, and allows for a second solid phase reaction to be conducted in a single 96-well plate.
