Scientists at New York University stated that the (ProtoSolve-LRS) was largely responsible for the identification of Biomarkers in Breast and Colon tissue. This machine is the company’s award winning patented technology that uses detergent free extraction of proteins from lipids and other tissues. The research’s results were shown over 2 days at the LC-MS Course symposium at Robison College in Cambridge England.
The company believes that use of its revolutionary technology allows for a better understanding of many disease states including cancer. This is because of the Homogeneity allowed by the companies Pressure Cycling Technology in sample preparation, and use of the patented ProtoSolve-LRS method of protein extraction. Giving researchers what they need to discover potential Biomarkers in many diseases.
Lead research scientists Dr. Paul Pevsner is quoted saying, “Our studies showed that the combination of cycled high pressure (PCT) with the ProteoSolve-LRS kit, used in conjunction with other instrumentation in our laboratory, allowed us to identify potential biomarkers of breast and colon cancer. This is a significant finding, since these potential biomarkers may prove to be important indicators of disease detection and progression. It is possible that these findings may alter the current paradigm of histopathology tissue diagnosis for tumors. In the future, examination of biopsy tissue may require not only histopathology, but also mass spectrometry for complete diagnosis.”
“The combination of PCT and ProteoSolve-LRS is particularly suited for the study of the small, often nano-quantities of samples that are usually available for proteomic studies. The combination of this method with mass spectrometry instrumentation may become a method of choice for bio-molecular identification, not just in cancer, but in neurological and coronary diseases as well,” he added.
Pressure Bioscience is early stage company that is focused on creating and developing innovative technologies specifically the company’s patented technology Pressure Cycling for sample preparation. Its Barocycler NEP3229 uses this technology to process multiple samples within minutes with the ability to customize depending on the sample type needed. They hold 13 US and 4 foreign patents covering many applications of their technology in the life sciences field.
