Lectin Array 95 (ab272787) uses standard glass slides each spotted with 12 wells of identical lectin arrays.

This array will help researchers: 1) identify and profile the glycans in their samples; 2) determine whether their biomarker of interest has glycan moieties, and; 3) find specific glycan binding ligands in biological samples.

Lectins are glycan-binding proteins which have been purified from trees, beans and some fruits. They are highly specific for a given glycan based on their sequence and the different sugar unit structures the glycan contains. For Lectin Array 95 (ab272787) one standard glass slide is spotted with 12 identical lectin arrays, (1 per well), each containing 95 unique lectins spotted in duplicate, plus positive controls. The slide comes with a 16-well removable gasket which allows for the processing of 12 samples using one slide. Four slides can be nested into a tray, which matches a standard microplate and allows for the automated robotic high-throughput processing of 32 arrays simultaneously. Lectin Array 95 (ab272787) provides a powerful new tool for glycosylation determination, drug discovery, and biomarker development, all while requiring limited sample volumes.
