What Does It Cover?
Single molecule counting (SMC™) technology enables accurate measurement of molecules at levels previously undetectable allowing researchers to identify new biomarkers, or assist in therapeutic development with an improved view of efficacy, safety & time course studies. Combining a traditional immunoassay workflow with patented SMC™ technology enables the detection of low-abundance biomarkers, such as proteins and nucleic acids, with unparalleled sensitivity and accuracy, capturing concentrations down to the femtogram/mL level. You will learn how to detect, and monitor changes in, extremely low levels of established disease biomarkers such as cardiac troponin I and cytokines.
What Will You Learn?
- General background on Single Molecule Counting (SMC™) technology
- How SMC™ technology enables quantification of low concentration biomarkers for improved stratification of sample populations, drug development and new biomarker discovery
- How to build your own bead-based or plate-based
Who Should Attend?
- Researchers interested in biomarker discovery
- Therapeutic development scientists
- Protein biochemists
- Life science researchers
- Molecular biologists
