Environmental Proteomics
Protein Detection Services
Quantitative Tools for Photosynthesis, Aquaculture & Environmental Science
Environmental Proteomics offers products and services for the quantitative analysis of proteins. We use bioinformatics to design peptide antigens to elicit antibodies, for use across a wide range of species (like the "global antibodies" against photosynthetic complexes marketed by AgriSera AB); to be species specific, or isoform specific within a given organism.
Quantitated standards are essential for direct measurement of proteins with immunological methods. We produce recombinant protein standards to accompany antibodies using an in vitro transcription/translation method.
We offer in house measurement of proteins in samples. We can quantitatively and efficiently extract the proteins from samples, separate them electrophoretically, perform quantitative immunoblotting and provide the customer with data and images of blots. This service is currently available for the measurement of the photosynthetic complexes involved in primary productivity and is perfectly suited to the analysis of oceanographic as well as terrestrial samples.
Environmental Proteomics collaborates with AgriSera AB to design, produce and characterize complete immunological detection systems.
