Profound knowledge about protein expression levels is of utmost importance for the discovery and evaluation of new drug targets. Our Scio-Discover Service is fully immuno-based and covers proteins involved in major disease and signalling pathways as well as secreted proteins. For the highly-parallel protein analysis only minimal amounts of sample are required. No sample fractionation or depletion is needed. Our platform is able to process most biological samples without the need for laborious sample preparation, saving time and resources.

 

Applications:

  • Drug Target Identification and verification studies
  • Mechanistic studies for various indications
  • Correlate Next-Gen-Sequencing Data to protein expression levels
  • Profile cytokine and inflammatory status of your samples

 

Key advantages:

  • Low sample consumption 
  • Investigation of human, murine and rat samples*
  • Fast turnaround time, as low as two weeks**
  • No need for laborious depletion or fractionation of your samples
  • High sensitivity (as sensitive as an ELISA or better)
  • High reproducibility (CV < 10%)
  • Various sample types can be investigated
    • Serum / Plasma
    • Tissue
    • Cell culture
    • Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)

 

Service Features:

  • Study Layout
  • Protein Extraction and Purification
  • Protein Quantification
  • Protein labelling with high-performance fluorescent dyes
  • Automated array incubation and handling 
  • Array scanning and data acquisition
  • Data analysis according to your requirements
  • Individual study report

* Antibody array is designed to target human proteins. Due to a high sequence homology of vast majority of proteins it was often successfully applied to study murine, rat and ovine models as well  [Thorenz A. et al. (2018), Peiro J. et al. (2018), Reichman H. et al. (2019), Raquel F. et al. (2020)].

At Sciomics, we are dedicated to advancing healthcare through proteomics research. We are collaborating with research groups and big pharma, alongside our in-house biomarker research initiatives. To make this research more accessible to you, we are launching the new Sciomics science blog!

The first study we will feature was published this year in a journal in the Nature publishing group. It's a topic that affects us all. Any guesses? Stay tuned!

 

 

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."
