SomaScan™ Assay Services

SomaScan™ Assay

The SomaScan™ Assay measures proteins from a single blood sample, enabling biomarker discovery and drug target identification. The SomaScan™ Assay uses Slow Off-Rate Modified Aptamers (called SOMAmer® reagents) to provide 11,000 highly reproducible measurements of circulating proteins from a sample of plasma, serum, or urine.

As a SomaScan™ Certified Site by SomaLogic, we provide services for both the whole SomaScan™ Assay of 11,000 proteins and disease-specific panels to suit your needs.

SomaScan Panels

The SomaScan Assay is available in disease-specific panels. Disease-specific panels include 168 – 1,316 targets and are currently available for seven key disease areas: Inflammation and Immune Response, Cardiovascular Disease, Oncology, Nutritional and Metabolic Diseases, Neuroscience, Cytokines, Respiratory.

The panel can also be customized up to 1,500 targets. Moreover, the SomaScan Assay leads the market in specificity, dynamic range, and reproducibility as Figure below.

 

Introducing 11K Unparalleled Protein Content

The SomaScan Assay, the industry-leading multiplex proteomics platform, is now capable of 11,000 total protein measurements, including 10,000 unique human proteins measured. This means you can now access half the human proteome.

The broadest, deepest disease coverage is now available to you

The new 11,000-plex menu is the most powerful proteomics solution today. Covering half of the genetically encoded human proteome, researchers can now decipher human biology by casting the widest net possible.

We took a broad approach to selecting new protein targets and have mapped the protein coverage in biological processes and various disease areas.
