Ciphergen ProteinChip Arrays 8 Well Format Kit Including Bioprocessor

The Ciphergen C503-0003 ProteinChip Arrays Kit is a specialized consumable designed for high-throughput protein analysis, particularly for biomarker discovery, characterization, and assay development using Surface-Enhanced Laser Desorption/Ionization (SELDI) technology. This kit features an 8-well format, where each array resembles a column of a standard microplate, with eight chemically active spots designed to capture proteins.

ProteinChip arrays are metal chips with various surface chemistries (such as cationic, anionic, metal affinity, hydrophobic, or hydrophilic) or reactive surfaces that can be coupled with biological molecules like antibodies. This diverse range of surfaces allows for the selective binding and retention of specific proteins or classes of proteins directly from complex biological samples, such as cell lysates, urine, or serum, often without prior purification. The 8-well format facilitates the simultaneous analysis of multiple samples or conditions, streamlining experimental workflows.

This kit, including a bioprocessor, is used in conjunction with Ciphergen's ProteinChip readers (SELDI-TOF-MS systems) to analyze the captured proteins, generating high-resolution protein profiles based on molecular weight. The technology enables researchers to rapidly screen for disease-associated biomarkers, analyze protein-protein interactions, and study post-translational modifications. The Ciphergen C503-0003 ProteinChip Arrays Kit provides a powerful and versatile platform for proteomics research, offering high sensitivity and reproducibility for detailed protein analysis.The Ciphergen C503-0003 ProteinChip Arrays Kit is a specialized consumable designed for high-throughput protein analysis, particularly for biomarker discovery, characterization, and assay development using Surface-Enhanced Laser Desorption/Ionization (SELDI) technology.
