biomarkerexpress™


biomarkerexpress™ is a suite of biomarker services that utilizes proprietary methods to significantly decrease timelines and increase the success rates traditionally associated with the various stages of biomarker development.

Features of biomarkerexpress™
  • Rapidly move from biomarker discovery through assay development to monitoring
  • High specificity for targeted protein(s) including post-translational modifications and isoforms
  • Multiplexing capabilities of greater than 20 proteins in a single assay
  • Absolute or relative quantification based on mass spectrometry
  • Not dependent on affinity reagents (no antibodies required)
  • Small amount of sample required
  • Applicable to biofluids, tissues, cells, formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue, plants, etc.


Three components of biomarkerexpress™

discoveryexpress™

Biomarker discovery services:
  • Differential and quantitative protein profiling
  • High proteome and protein coverage
  • Easy transition to biomarker assays

assayexpress™

Protein assay development services:
  • Assay development time is weeks to months
  • Optimized for multiplexing, short run times and lowest sample requirements
  • High specificity for targeted protein(s) without affinity reagents

testingexpress™

Protein biomarker testing services:
  • Monitoring of biomarkers in pre-clinical and clinical samples
  • Verification and validation of putative biomarkers
  • Quantification is not dependent on affinity reagents
