Northwestern University received a $527,651 Project Grant from the National Institutes of Health Office of the Director under the Research Infrastructure Programs (CFDA 93.351) to acquire a 96-channel RH96 OCTET high-throughput biolayer interferometry (BLI HTS) instrument. The award, dated June 1, 2026, with completion by May 31, 2027, supports the purchase and installation of this next-generation biomolecular interaction analysis platform at the university's Evanston, Illinois campus. The instrument enables quantitative measurement of protein-protein and protein-small molecule interactions across up to 96 samples simultaneously, utilizing minimal sample volumes and requiring less technical expertise than existing alternatives. The BLI HTS instrument addresses a critical regional infrastructure gap, as no high-throughput BLI capability currently exists in the Midwest region. The equipment will be integrated into Northwestern's High-Throughput Analysis Laboratory and will serve at least 14 research groups across six departments spanning the College of Arts and Sciences, Feinberg School of Medicine, and McCormick School of Engineering. This shared resource will replace reliance on the university's existing 2-channel BLI instrument and eliminate the need for researchers to travel to out-of-state institutions for high-throughput screening and drug discovery applications. The laboratory's full-time technical staff will manage instrument operations and maintenance to ensure sustained, efficient utilization by the broader Midwest research community.Federal Grant Award Summary
