Proteomics - LC Sciences – Technologies for Genomics and Proteomics Discoveries
Our proteomics products and services include the use of custom synthesized peptide microarrays based on the PepArray™ technology which enables the total customization of content on each individual microarray to suit your needs. The technology allows us to synthesize thousands of custom peptides (sequences can be defined to each single amino acid residue) on an addressable array to act as kinase substrates, antibody epitopes, or protein binding ligands. We can perform enzymatic/binding reactions in a high-throughput format and generate quantitative results in a controllable, enclosed environment with minimal sample usage. Kinase Profiling Microarray Service A comprehensive kinase analysis service utilizing high density protein kinase substrate (PKS) peptide microarrays synthesized on PepArray™ microfluidic chips for proteomic scale kinase profiling, quantitative measurement of kinase kinetic activities in the absence or presence of protein kinase inhibitors, and drug discovery research.
