WHAT WE OFFER
Streamline your research by managing the entire Explorer Antibody Array workflow—from sample to results.
Sample Processing
Send your cell lysates or protein extracts to us, and our experienced technicians will take care of all sample preparation steps according to Full Moon BioSystems’ validated protocols, ensuring consistency and compatibility with the Signaling Explorer platform.
Assay Execution
We perform the complete lysate preparation, labeling, incubation, and detection process using the Explorer Antibody Array. This array enables high-throughput profiling of total proteins involved in key cellular signaling pathways.
Imaging & Data Analysis
Our lab uses high-resolution microarray scanners and advance software tools to extract and analyze fluorescent signals from array images. Each spot is carefully examined to verify signal quality, consistency, and accuracy across the array.
Our hybrid approach, computational quantification plus expert-reviewed, ensures high-confidence, reproducible results. We focus on delivering clean, reliable data that reflects true biological differences. This rigorous quality control process ensures that only high-confidence data are carried forward for interpretation.
Final Report Delivery
Upon completion of the assay and analysis, results are delivered in Excel format with clearly structured data. Each report includes:
-
Mean signal intensity of all replicate spots for each antibody
-
Coefficient of variation (CV) for replicate spots to assess signal consistency
-
Normalized signal intensities
-
Fold change calculations between control and. treatment samples
- Sample Assay Results
-
Biomarker profiling
-
Cancer and drug target discovery
-
Signal transduction research
- Mechanism of action studies
The ELISA based Phospho Explorer Antibody Array platform involves four major steps:
- Protein extraction with non-denaturing lysis buffer
- Biotinylation of protein samples
- Incubation of labeled samples with antibody array
- Detection by dye conjugated streptavidin
Explorer Antibody Array features 656 antibodies, each in duplicate format, targeting a wide variety of signaling pathways
