scioDiscover - Protein Profiling on the Expression Level

Knowledge about protein expression levels is of utmost importance to predict toxic effects, estimate adverse effects of drug candidates and to identify new drug targets. Sciomics has a highly optimised range of protein profiling services available. These help you to speed up your research and generate important data at lower cost through a highly-parallel protein expression level analysis using our Scio-Discover Antibody Microarray Platform. Furthermore, you may link to and verify your Genomics and Transcriptomics data with protein expression levels.

 

Applications:Experimental design of an antibody microarray profiling study

  • Pre-clinical Toxicology Studies
    • rodents such as mice* and rats*
    • cell culture models
    • tissue culture models
  • Drug target identification and verification
  • Mechanistic studies for various indications
  • Profile cytokine and inflammatory status
  • Protein Biomarker identification and verification

 

Key advantages:

  • High multiplexity (more than 1,400 proteins in parallel)
  • Low sample consumption
  • Investigation of human and murine 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
    • Plasma or Serum
    • fresh-frozen tissue samples

* 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)].

** Depending on study design and sample numbers.

What clients say about scioDiscover

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."

"We enjoyed working with Sciomics on various research projects related to inflammatory skin diseases. The cooperation with Sciomics was just excellent. In addition to processing the samples and compiling the data in a perfectly understandable way, Sciomics GmbH supports us with the entire interpretation and presentation of our results with lots of ideas beyond the usual level of corporate performance. We are looking forward to developing new ideas for further clinical studies together."

José Pedro Castro, PhD

German Instiute of Human Nutrition (DIfE), Potsdam-Rehbrücke, Germany

"I am more than pleased to recommend Sciomics Antibody Microarray analysis service. We used it to compare differentiating from non-differentiating cells and it was a precious help which allowed us to understand the different phenotypes. The results were sent fast and ready to publish ! Their availability to clarify doubts was simply outstanding. Christoph, Ronny and their team are well prepared to assist in designing the experiments in order to get the maximum of the array. If I hit a road block in my experiments, I am sure that their services will help me go through."
