A high-throughput protein array-based approach
Centre for Proteomic and Genomic Research

Here we present a novel discovery-oriented high-throughput approach to the screening of allergen reactivates in crude biological extracts is presented using seafood allergens as an example. The CPGR workflow permits the effective screening of hundreds of putative allergens in parallel using minute amounts of patient serum and constitutes a cost-efficient allergen-specific antibody screening method for a routine diagnostic setting.

Development of a High-Throughput Microarray for Evaluating CYP1A1 Induction

Bio-analytic silicon chips for the detection of developmentalneurotoxic effects of chemicals and drugs in the context of the European REACH program
University of Rostock, Bionas GmbH

Bio-analytic silicon chips can be used to investigate stem cell differentiation into neurons and for the in vitro on-line monitoring of cellular reactions under well controlled experimental conditions. Chip systems allow for a parallel, label-free and non-invasive measurement of different parameters by CMOS silicon microsensors by the application of potential neurotoxic and developmental neurotoxic substances.
