Bio-Techne Introduces Leo: A Breakthrough in Protein Analysis
Bio-Techne Corporation (NASDAQ: TECH) has commenced the distribution of its innovative Leo™ System, a significant evolution in high-throughput protein analysis powered by Simple Western™ Technology. This new system represents a substantial leap forward from previous Simple Western platforms, enhancing both sample throughput and reproducibility in protein detection and quantification. The Leo system provides the automation and precision that researchers need to perform protein assays efficiently.
Enhanced Features of the Leo System
The Leo system allows researchers to process as many as 100 samples simultaneously in a single run that lasts three hours. This capability translates to a staggering fourfold increase in throughput compared to the Jess™ Simple Western System and offers five times the speed of Sally Sue™ and Peggy Sue™ systems. With its advanced technology, Leo is designed to deliver high-quality, analytical grade protein quantitation essential for regulatory submissions.
Advanced Software Integration
One of the standout features of the Leo system is its sophisticated Compass for Simple Western Software. This upgraded software includes advanced analytical capabilities that enhance the user experience and ensure compliance with important regulations like 21 CFR Part 11, critical for laboratories worldwide.
Feedback from Early Users
Initial users of the Leo system have expressed tremendous satisfaction, highlighting its robust performance and the quality of data it generates. Beta testers noted that Leo's capabilities extend across various applications, including targeted protein degradation studies, clinical biomarker analyses, gene therapy potency tests, and numerous quality control applications. Such versatility showcases Leo's potential impact in both academic research and commercial development.
Accelerating Scientific Research
Will Geist, President of Bio-Techne's Protein Sciences Segment, emphasized the system's role in expediting research. He stated, "With Leo, scientists can achieve their development milestones faster and more efficiently, completing studies with fewer runs, operators, and instruments. This advancement allows our customers to propel their innovative science forward and expedite the delivery of next-generation therapies to the market."
Future Perspectives and Webinars
The company plans to share extensive data on Leo's performance in an upcoming webinar, an opportunity for interested parties to understand the system's impact better.
