The most sustainable & affordable solution
for molecular interaction analysis
KBCS 2025, PlexM launching & miniX preview
Writer: Alex Jang
From November 12 to 14, we participated in the 2025 Fall Conference of the Korean Biochip Society, held over three days at Jeju Shinhwa World, to introduce the newly released iMSPR-PlexM and the upcoming iMSPR-miniX.
iMSPR-PlexM Launch
The newly released iMSPR-PlexM—capable of monitoring up to 250 interactions within 10 minutes from a single injection—attracted significant attention at the conference.
In particular, researchers working on multiplexed immunoassays and aptamer discovery (SELEX) showed strong interest in its high-throughput, multi-interaction detection capability.
With its ultrafast and highly multiplexed analysis performance, PlexM opens new possibilities for next-generation biosensing and diagnostic platform research.
iMSPR-miniX Preview
Automation is now possible even in entry-level models.
At the event, we showcased the prototype of iMSPR-miniX, which is now in the final stage of development.
The miniX autosampler accommodates:
-
up to 20 vials (A1–A20), and
-
up to three 25 mL bottles (B1–B3),
allowing automated kinetics evaluation for up to four different analytes.
The model drew strong attention from researchers already using the current iMSPR-mini.
Since the system can be upgraded without replacing the entire instrument, the miniX is expected to be highly welcomed by existing mini users and widely adopted upon release.
At the final day of the event, Dr. Hoyoon Lee from iClueBio introduced how the iMSPR technology can be applied not only to drug discovery but also to the broader fields of biochips and biosensors.
He highlighted how iMSPR’s high-sensitivity, real-time analysis capabilities can accelerate surface interaction studies, validate sensing platforms, and support next-generation biochip development.
This was our first participation in a domestic conference in quite some time, and the 20th anniversary of the Biochip Society made the experience even more meaningful.
The enthusiasm and positivity of the researchers were truly inspiring, making this a memorable and energizing visit.
