Nanoink Announces The Launch Of A New Automated Platform

20 Jan 2012

Product news

The Nano BioDiscovery™ Division of NanoInk®, Inc. announced today the release of a new automated platform for the analysis of its protein NanoArray assays. NanoInk’s NanoArray Assay System™ enables detection, identification, and quantitation of clinically relevant, low abundance proteins from a wide variety of sample types for applications such as biomarker analysis, translational medicine, and toxicology.

NanoInk assays consume much smaller sample and reagent volumes than do traditional ELISA and bead-based assays, generating more proteomic data with less starting material and lowering assay costs for tests that are typically expensive to run.

NanoInk Announces Nanoscale Angiogenesis Array Assay capabilities, the NanoInk platform can achieve sub-picogram sensitivities with 2 μl or less of sample. This is comparable to or better than the sensitivity of ELISA and bead-based assays that require 50 μl or more of sample. NanoInk’s new video demonstrates how the company helps its customers address major proteomic challenges with automated and miniaturized multiplexed NanoArray assays.

Nanoscale Protein Array Assay Service

NanoInk, Inc

Nano BioDiscovery provides a comprehensive line of services for a wide range of proteins, including: • Custom protein array printing • Complete assay development and analysis • Protein profiling services • Technology transfer Each contract service project begins with the client specifying their proteins of interest. NanoInk’s dedicated Contract Research Organization then works in close consultation with the customer to design and print ideally-patterned nanoscale protein arrays (with up to 96 different proteins) on a modified glass substrate. For assay projects, NanoInk then works to develop optimal assay conditions and protocols. If the client prefers to conduct their own screening and discovery assays, the Nano BioDiscovery team will transfer the custom protein arrays and optimized protocols to the customer for subsequent in-house screening. Otherwise, NanoInk will conduct on-array assays, extract and analyze the data, develop a comprehensive report with image files and raw data, and rapidly deliver the report to the client.

ProteomicsProteomics is the systemic bioinformatics study of proteins and amino acids, including their structure, size, function and identification. Tools used in proteomics include chromatography, blotting and gels, protein arrays, mass spectrometry and ELISA and associated analysis software. Analyzers and proteomic systems should be sensitive, high resolution, fast and may be automated for high-throughput.Cell-Based AssaysCell-based assays are used to monitor the presence, quantity and activities of a desired cellular analyte including drug molecules or biomarkers. This can reveal information on cell health (apoptosis, cytotoxicity, viability and proliferation assays), cell metabolism, cell migration and cell signaling mechanisms.
