Antibody Specificity Assessment

 

 

Cambridge Protein Arrays Ltd.

Cambridge Protein arrays is a CRO offering analysis services based on complex human protein arrays. While the antibody arrays of Sciomics can be used to profile the content of proteins in a sample, recombinant protein arrays are especially useful for the interpretation of binding parameters of antibodies or auto-antibodies to a human proteins. Such arrays provide ultimate insights in the specificity of an antibody and information on eventual cross-binding events.

   

PEPperPRINT GmbH

Pepperprint offers standard and customized peptide microarrays with their proprietary LASER peptide printing technology which combines high spot densities with content flexibility, production speed and quality in a uniquely cost-effective manner.

Networks

 

 

BIO Deutschland

As the sector association of the biotechnology industry, BIO Deutschland has set itself the objective of supporting and promoting the development of an innovative economic sector based on modern biosciences.

   

DECHEMA

DECHEMA is the expert network for chemical engineering and biotechnology in Germany. As a non-profit professional society we represent these fields in science, industry, politics and the general public. DECHEMA promotes scientific and technical exchange among experts from different disciplines, organisations and generations. We consolidate the know-how of over 5,800 individual and sustaining members.

 

BioRN

Over the past few years the Rhine-Neckar biotech region has developed into one of Germany’s strongest biotechnology clusters. The cluster is located within a radius of 30 km around the cities of Heidelberg, Mannheim, Darmstadt and Ludwigshafen. It is the most prominent and concentrated biotech cluster in Germany in the fields of personalized medicine and cancer research.

 

Technologiepark Heidelberg

Heidelberg Technology Park is a science park where major research institutes and global corporations work side by side. The synergies are manifold so that what emerges is a science-based society in which science finds scope for experimentation in industry and scientific research gains new perspectives as a result of international cooperation.

 

BioLAGO e.V.

BioLAGO is the cross-border health network for life sciences in the four-country-region of Lake Constance (Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Liechtenstein). The network links industry with science for innovations; it promotes knowledge transfer and the foundation of new firms.

 

Network Lab-on-a-Chip Technologies

Lab-on-a-Chip approaches (short: LoaC) are the combination and integration of several analytical steps of classical and new laboratory analysis on a glass, silicium or plastic chip. The goal is to achiev a high degree of automation as well as the parallelization of many analytical steps (keyword " High Content Screening").

The network focuses on innovative products, production processes and services primarily in the fields of

  • Point-of-care diagnostics systems / Biomarker development
  • Replacement of animal experiments by "organ-on-a-chip" approaches
  • cell analysis / microbiology
  • chip manufacturing

New article | Rapid Diagnostic Platform for Personalized Vitamin B6 Detection in Erythrocytes

| July 2023 | New Article: Fiedler et al. developed a novel methodology for vitamin B6 diagnostics. We supported the project by the production of custom antibody microarray targeting signature human PLP-DE and testing respective samples.

New article | Biomarkers for canine mammary neoplasia

| Mai 2023 | New Article: Galadima et al. used the scioCD assay to analyse canine blood samples in the context of mammary neoplasia. The proteins CD20, CD45RA and CD99 were found at altered levels. The findings were validated by Western Blotting and are suggested as novel serum biomarkers.

Testimonials

Dr. Matthew Wright

Chief Scientific Officer, Kinarus Therapeutics AG, Basel, Switzerland

"We are a small biotech company without our own wet labs. Sciomics recommended a UK CRO that performed cell culture experiments for our studies. Sciomics seamlessly coordinated the transfer of the biologic materials to their facility and performed the scioCD panel to characterize cell surface markers and cytokines in cell lines treated with our small molecule drug candidates. The Sciomics data were instrumental in supporting our IP protection strategy. Their advice was very helpful and they worked with us to extract the most out of the data. We are very satisfied and highly recommend the Sciomics platform and the team."

Kyriaki Barmpa

PhD Candidate, Developmental and Cellular Biology, Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine, University of Luxembourg

"By collaborating with Sciomics, we conducted a detailed analysis of the proteome of striatum organoids, uncovering significant differences that further assisted our research. Their communication was highly efficient, and the results were delivered promptly."
