In this video, we demonstrate biolayer interferometry (BLI) technology to detect the intermolecular interactions between ligands and target analytes in real-time. BLI measures changes in the interference pattern of white light reflected off a layer of immobilized ligands on a biosensor surface as they interact with analytes in solution.

On comparing the reactivity of silver and lead, it is observed that the two ionic species, Ag+ (aq) and Pb2+ (aq), show a difference in their redox reactivity towards copper: the silver ion undergoes spontaneous reduction, while the lead ion does not. This relative redox activity can be easily quantified in electrochemical cells by a property called cell potential. This property is commonly known as cell voltage in electrochemistry, and it is a measure of the energy which accompanies the charge...

FAQs
The electrode’s pointed or punched geometry determines how it reaches the biological target. Rather than relying only on contact at the outer surface, the tip passes through a thin layer so its conductive region can couple more locally with cells or tissue. This geometry is especially useful when the layer would otherwise prevent access to electrical activity beneath it.
Electrical recording depends on coupling ionic activity in the biological material to an external circuit. The conductive surface provides the interface where signals associated with ions in cells or tissue can be detected outside the biological system. This principle allows the same electrode design to support electrophysiological measurement and, when driven electrically, stimulation of the target.
Compared with a surface-contact electrode, a Biolayer Punch Electrode is intended to improve access through a thin barrier and restrict the interaction to a more localized region. That distinction matters when researchers need spatially specific information rather than a signal dominated by broad surface contact. The resulting measurements can help distinguish local bioelectrical responses from more general tissue activity.
Measurements made through the biological layer can be used to examine barrier or membrane properties, while localized electrical access also permits assessment of cell signaling and tissue function. The value is not limited to detecting a voltage: the electrode provides a way to relate electrical behavior to the condition and function of the contacted biological structure.
This design is suited to studies of cell signaling, tissue function, and bioelectrical responses when researchers need localized access. It can also support electrical stimulation, allowing investigators to examine how cells or tissues respond to an imposed electrical input. These uses make the electrode relevant to experiments where a biological layer limits access to the target.
Researchers position the pointed or punched electrode so it penetrates the relevant biological layer, then use the conductive surface to establish electrical coupling with the target. The external circuit can record electrophysiological activity or deliver stimulation. Researchers can subsequently relate the localized electrical response to cell signaling, tissue function, or barrier and membrane properties.
