From structural characterization with Chirascan, to stability screening with SUPR-DSF, and kinetic analysis with the SX20, our systems deliver the data you need to design and optimize bispecifics with confidence.
16th World Bispecific Summit
9th - 11th September 2025
Join Nicoya and Applied Photophysics at the 16th World Bispecific Summit!
The 16th World Bispecific Summit returns as the industry’s longest-running and most comprehensive event, devoted exclusively to the design, development, and translation of bispecific and multispecific therapeutics. Bringing together the industry leaders, making it all happen, including Regeneron, Sanofi, Novartis, Immunocore, Zymeworks, and more to share actionable insights and real-world case studies. Attendees will gain strategies to design more effective bispecifics, select smarter target pairings, streamline manufacturability, and mitigate safety risks - accelerating the path from discovery to clinic.
Join Nicoya and Applied Photophysics at the World Bispecific Summit to explore how SPR, circular dichroism, stopped-flow kinetics, and protein stability screening are advancing the design, characterization, and developability of bispecific antibodies.
