Protein Profiling Platform - Quality Assurance

High quality standards are essential for robust and reliable Biomarker Discovery and Verification as well as for the discovery of new Drug Targets. During the last 10 years a stringent quality assurance workflow has been established for our Antibody Array Platform in order to conduct immuno-based biomedical discovery studies with excellent standards in terms of reproducibility and platform stability. The automated assay workflow further improves the performance of our service. 

 

Biomarker Discovery Phase - scioDiscover Platform

  • Stringent antigen design for maximised specificity of the resulting antibodies
  • Antibodies are antigen affinity-purified
  • Targets identified through transcriptional studies and expert input
  • Stringent QC management
  • Features:  
    • cross-species activity (human and mouse for high versatility)
    • detection of several protein isoforms
    • cost-efficiency through high content

  

Verification Phase - Custom Array Platform

  • Stringent antigen design for maximised specificity of the resulting antibodies
  • Antibodies are antigen affinity-purified
  • In-house QC on Western Blot (different cell lines or tissues) and optional ELISA-based tests
  • In-house QC on large-scale protein arrays (> 9.000 human proteins)
  • In-depth validation of array performance
  • Definition of biomarker signature with highest accuracy
  • Selection of appropriate binders / sandwich pairs
  • Features:  
    • specifically designed antibodies for further use in diagnostic assays
    • fully renewable antibody formats
    • in-depth quality controlled (WB, ELISA)
    • comprehensive cross-reactivity profile (large-scale protein arrays)

 

Orthogonal Biomarker Validation

Verified Candidates can be further validated by orthogonal methods according to customer’s requirements

  • Western Blotting ( WB )
  • ELISA
  • Immuno-Precipitation ( IP )
  • Mass spectrometry ( MS )
  • Biacore

Testimonials

Dr. Bettina Grötsch

Department of Medicine 3 - Rheumatology and Immunology, University Clinics Erlangen, Erlangen, Germany

"Our lab is working with human osteoclast that were isolated and differentiated from human peripheral blood. Therefore, we were quite limited in cell numbers and protein content for our planned Phosphoprotein analyses. Nonetheless, Sciomics and especially Camille Lowy helped us a lot to test and improve our protein isolation techniques to achieve some interesting phosphoproteome data in human osteoclasts. We were really impressed by the detailed data report and their willingness to discuss and reanalyze the data repeatedly until we got the best results out of our measurements. Even several month after their first report, we could ask for help and suggestions with an immediate reply.  The phosphoproteome analyses completed our preliminary project data and are now published in Frontiers Immunology.  Altogether, we were very happy with the service of Sciomics and special thanks to Camille Lowy and Christoph Schröder who guided us through the whole process."
