Thank You & Happy Holidays!

During 2012, Biotech Support Group accomplished progress on clinical proteomic research & development of our sample preparation reagent kits thanks to researchers. The following are highlights of 2012:

1. Published research citing our sample preparation reagent kits for Alzheimer's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, human blood proteome analysis.
2. Use in biomarker discovery and proteomic profiling of human interstitial fluid, cerebrospinal fluid, synovial fluid experiments.
3. Hemovoid™ for hemoglobin variants research 
4. AlbuVoid™ for albumin depletion for secretome sample preparation of a cellular modeling system. 
5. SeraFILE™ Separations Platform for functional proteomic profiling of phosphodiesterases 
6. Cleanascite™ for lipid removal from fish bile samples and cholesterol removal from serum samples for vaccines research.
7. Viraffinity™ for Hantaan virus purification
