Applications for antibody microarrays

Antibody microarrays are a versatile tool.

Antibody microarrays are an efficient and cost-effective tool for the analysis of multiple proteins in parallel. Some advantages of an analysis based on antibody microarray are:

  • Lower antibody consumption as compared to standard assays such as ELISA
  • The highly parallel approach increases the probability to identify a protein biomarker candidate in a biomarker screening or verification study.
  • The parallel analysis of multiple target proteins facilitates a direct comparison of protein abundance in the very same experiment and set of samples.
  • Only minimal amount of sample such as 20 µL of plasma is needed to analyse hundreds of proteins. Therefore, multiplex analysis is feasible for low abundant samples.
  • A variety of sample types such as plasma, serum, tissue or samples from cell culture experiments can be analysed with the very same platform
  • A sample fractionation or a depletion of high abundant proteins such as albumin is not necessary. Thereby, the sample preparation is simplified and a potential bias can be prevented.
  • Where necessary, alternative immunological assays can be built comparably easy based on the very same antibodies.

Most of time antibody microarrays are used in biomedical studies. However, there are multiple other possibilities such as analysis and surveillance of food or the analysis of environmental samples.

Testimonials

Tara Sigdel, PhD

Associate Professor, Department of Surgery, University of California San Francisco

"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."
