"low-concentration and low-dose screenings of protein-to-ligand interactions surfaces cooled down can poke with laser and output information I need... same-day turnaround... little sample preparation...clinicians and patients don't have to wait for days and weeks of analysis. You can get all these answers almost right away... smaller sample size with simplier preparation and lower protein concentration, cost-effective"
