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.
Recombinant antibodies
		YUMAB GmbH YUMAB provides tailored solutions for human antibody development and antibody engineering problems. YUMAB provides rapid, large-scale discovery and optimization of human monoclonal antibodies, custom libraries, antibody engineering (e.g., humanization, affinity maturation, various antibody product formats), and custom-made antibodies to difficult antigen targets. YUMAB offers fee-for-service solutions, and attractive and flexible licensing options for diagnostics and therapeutics.
Instrumentation
		DITABIS AG DITABIS entwickelt und fertigt auf der Basis von OEM-Partnerschaften Medizingeräte, Laborgeräte oder Imagingsysteme für Anwendungen in den Bereichen Health Care, Life Science und In-Vitro-Diagnostik.

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

Article | Exploration of Novel Biomarkers for Neurodegenerative Diseases

| December 2024 | Biomarker candidates for neurodegenerative diseases were identified by combining an exploratory proteomic approach with quantitative ligand-binding assays. Sciomics supported this study by proteomic screening of plasma and CSF samples of patients with different neurodegenerative diseases using the scioDiscover microarray platform.

"We collaborated with Sciomics GmbH in Germany to analyze proteomics data from blood samples of kidney transplant recipients and liver perfusates during normothermic machine perfusion. Throughout the process, Sciomics provided exceptional support, ensuring timely data delivery and valuable assistance with data analysis. Their expertise and commitment have been instrumental in advancing our research, and we are currently using their data in multiple manuscript submissions. I highly recommend Sciomics for their reliable service and expertise in proteomics."

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."
