In 1870, Florenz Sartorius founded the company in this German university town.

What is Göttingen?

100

The three words behind the acronym at the core of every Octet measurement: B-L-I.

What is Bio-Layer Interferometry?

100

The channel count the original Octet instrument was named for

What is 8?

100

The iQue is a plate-based, high-throughput take on this classic cell-analysis technique.

What is flow cytometry?


100

The four words behind F-M-E-A

What is Failure Mode and Effects Analysis?

200

Florenz Sartorius first built his reputation crafting these precision weighing instruments.

What is analytical balance?

200

BLI is special because analytes never need these fluorescent or enzymatic attachments.

What are labels / tags?

200

The disposable fiber-optic tips at the heart of every Octet assay.

What are biosensors?

200

The integrated software suite that runs acquisition and analysis on the iQue.

What is ForeCyt?

200

Every product requirement must have this: objectively confirmable by test, inspection, analysis, or demonstration.

What is verifiability?

300

The Octet platform joined the Sartorius family through the 2020 acquisition of this bio-analytics company.

What is ForteBio?

300

No microfluidics here: Octet biosensors simply do this two-word motion into the sample plate

What is \"Dip and Read\

300

R marks the research-scale Octets; these two letters mark the high-throughput line

What is RH?

300

The iQue keeps sequential well samples separated in its sample line using these. 

What are air gaps?

300
Technically mature organization based on INCOSE standards focus their meetings on these principles, rather than status updates or open ended brainstorming. 

What is decision making and alignment?

400

The iQue platform traces its roots to this Albuquerque-founded company acquired by Sartorius.

What is IntelliCyt?

400

The binding signal in BLI is a spectral interference shift, reported in this unit.

What is nanometers (nm shift)?

400

This Octet software package handles kinetics curve fitting, 1:1 models, and reporting.

What is Octet Analysis Studio?

400

The iQue 5 dominates the market in high throughput screening, but faces competition from this instrument. 

What is Bio Rad ZE5?

400

Based on a study by the Project Management Institute and The Standish Group, projects fail 40% of the time due to ineffective application of this systems engineering principle.  

What are requirements?

500

In 2021, Sartorius AG was promoted into this blue-chip German stock index.

What is the DAX?

500

The equilibrium dissociation constant that headlines every kinetics report.

What is KD?

500

Maximum number of simultaneous channels on the highest-throughput Octet.

What is 96 (Octet RH96)?

500

The iQue's signature throughput claim: a full 96-well plate in roughly this many minutes.

What is 5 minutes?

500

This agile approach to effective product development is considered the least utilized and most underrated. 

What is self-organizing teams?
