Results for tag: "Protein Microarray"

Protein microarrays are a form of technology widely used in biotechnology for various applications, including high-throughput screening, proteomics, biomarker discovery, antibody characterization, and diagnostics. A protein microarray, sometimes known as a protein chip, consists of a solid surface onto which a multitude of proteins are immobilized and used as probes. These chips can analyze protein–protein interactions, enzyme-substrate relationships, and the identification of disease-related biomarkers. Within biotechnology, protein microarrays fulfill a niche for large-scale analysis of proteins, which is crucial for understanding cellular processes and disease pathways. The technology allows simultaneous analysis of many samples against thousands of proteins, providing vast amounts of data that contribute to research, diagnosis, and personalized medicine. The market for protein microarrays is supported by advancements in proteomics, nanotechnology, and bioinformatics. These developments have enhanced the sensitivity, accuracy, and throughput capabilities of protein microarray platforms. Some prominent companies operating in the protein microarray market include Agilent Technologies, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Merck KGaA, Bio-Rad Laboratories, and Illumina. These firms provide a range of products and services including the production of microarray instruments, the fabrication of customized and standard protein chips, and software for data analysis and interpretation.
