Proteins are the workhorses of our body and are at the heart of biology – driving all cellular functions which determine whether we are in a state of health or disease. Proteomics is the study of the entire set of proteins present in a specific cell, tissue, or organism, including their structures, functions, and interactions. Proteomics is the heart of what we do at SPOC Proteomics. Studying entire sets of proteins in high-throughput requires:

1. Producing and purifying thousands of functional proteins individually, in an affordable manner.
2. A method to measure protein interactions that drive biological function.

Sensor-integrated proteome on chip (SPOC) technology was developed to integrate both features above into a single, user-friendly platform. SPOC chips contain thousands of proteins on a single 1.5 cm2 chip using our proprietary production method which eliminates expensive, cumbersome, and time-consuming recombinant protein production and purification workflows. SPOC production method effectively reduces the cost of large-scale proteomic assays by 10-100x.

Uniquely, our data collection technique provides qualitative, quantitative, and kinetic data for each of the thousands of proteins on the biosensor chip simultaneously, yet individually, by using a technique called surface plasmon resonance. No other proteomic platform on the market today offers kinetic data at this scale.
