Applications
Our PICO Kits, together with AMULATOR, our data analysis software, allow groundbreaking applications in the areas of:
- Ultra-sensitive protein biomarker detection
- Cellular pathway analysis
- Disruptive cancer research applications
- Innovative assays for pharmaceutical research
- Extracellular vesicle (EV) analysis
Performance
The PICO Products are based on a digital immunoassay concept that utilizes digital PCR (dPCR) technology for readout. This unique approach results in the following powerful features and benefits:
- Absolute quantification of protein targets - no need for external reference
- Multiplex and high-throughput analysis - detect up to 96 samples simultaneously
- Small input sample requirement (down to 0.5 µL) - save on precious samples
- Femtomolar sensitivity - detect the undetectable targets
- Homogeneous, wash-free workflow - no loss of material
Use-cases
The PICO technology expands the advantages of digital PCR into the world of proteins. PICO aims to replace traditional technologies such as western blot, co-immunoprecipitation (coIP), and ELISA, and allows the development of novel quantitative protein assays.
