Proteome Analysis - Proteomics

Overview

Proteome Factory applies proprietary and state-of-the-art protein separation techniques to proteome analysis allowing the separation of up to 10,000 proteins within a single 2D electrophoresis gel.
In combination with optimized sample preparation and prefractionation methods the chance to identify potential biomarkers and targets is significantly enhanced compared to standard 2D electrophoresis using e.g. IPG gels.
