scioDiscover: Protein profiling & biomarker discovery

Proteomics service for pre-clinical research &

Protein biomarker discovery

Robust, comprehensive & fast

Our high-throughput protein profiling service supports researchers in identifying novel protein biomarkers, understanding disease mechanisms, and accelerating pre-clinical drug development.

Using our proprietary antibody microarray platform, we enable the simultaneous quantification of over 1,500 proteins from minimal sample volumes — ideal for biomarker discovery, pathway analysis, and protein profiling studies.

Partner with Sciomics – your specialized proteomics CRO – and take your biomarker discovery and pre-clinical research to the next level.
