SMCxPRO® Services

SBH Sciences offers bioanalytical services for biomarker and large molecule analysis using the ultrasensitive Single Molecule Counting (SMC ®) Technology. We offer the complete menu of MilliporeSigma SMC ® ultrasensitive biomarker assays as well as custom assay development. The SMCxPRO platform can detect extremely low levels of established disease biomarkers, capturing concentrations down to the femtogram per mL level. This additional sensitivity allows for monitoring small changes in protein concentrations to measure biomarkers associated with disease progression accurately. This could be invaluable in supporting many areas of research, including neurological targets, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics (PK/PD), Immunogenicity (ADA), and early oncology targets.

SMC® Technology Unique Capabilities

The SMCxPRO ® Technology provides enhanced quantification at both low and high levels of expression. The immunoassay uses traditional ELISA technology, combined with a unique assay elution step. The eluted fluorescently labeled detection antibodies are digitally counted on the SMCxPRO® and the data is computed against a known concentration providing a quantitative measurement of the target analytes in the biological samples such as CSF, serum, and plasma. It is this unique technology that enables the ultrasensitive detection levels.
