To ensure a fast and precise diagnosis, it is necessary to be able to detect several biomarkers simultaneously in one sample. It is advantageous to combine the detection of two different molecule classes (e.g., protein, DNA or RNA) to expand the variety of biomarkers and to save sample material. Armed with an experienced technical team and the perfect platform for in vitro diagnostics (IVD) research, Creative Biolabs has developed a series of methods to perform simultaneous detection of protein and DNA or RNA. Our unique combination detection services will confirm the tendency of the results of the individual detections.
For many disorders, biomarker diagnosis research may identify highly specific protein and nucleic acid markers that are key to targeted detection of early-stage pathology. Also, molecular diagnostic tools that are capable of performing multiplexed assays. Tests that simultaneously detect multiple protein biomarkers and genetic information will save time, resources and, more importantly, will allow scientists to detect patterns of disease-related markers. Multiplexing will enable diagnoses based on a more informative assessment of panels of biomarkers that could signal the presence of a disease and would provide information on the disease stage.
The detection of biomarkers in a Microfluidic microbead chip has advantages over measurements in multi-well format, such as low background signals, small reaction volumes, and fast reaction. Fig.2 shows the results of the simultaneous detection of protein and DNA-based cardiovascular biomarker in a Microfluidic microbead chip. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) plus protein biomarker test allows early detection of pancreatic cancer (PC) has also been reported. With the help of combinational detection, mining genetic and protein alterations together can significantly improve the sensitivity of a blood test for early-stage PC.
