ECM-ProfilingTM - Nordic Bioscience

ECM-ProfilingTM
Measuring samples the Nordic way
ECM-ProfilingTM
• A biomarker sample measurement package
based on our Protein FingerPrintTM
technology
• These biomarkers help you in
– Early assessment of efficacy
– Diagnosis and prognosis of indications
– Translational research in preclinal and clinal
settings
ECM-ProfilingTM
• We can measure our biomarkers against Serum, Plasma,
Urine, Synovial fluids and cell cultures in various models
–
–
–
–
In vitro models
Ex vivo models
Various animal models
Human clinical samples
• Based on the samples, Nordic Bioscience delivers bioanalytical reports that can include
– In depth analysis with benchmarking against known/public data
– Benchmarking against other treatments for efficacy comparison
– Prognosis and prediction analysis
Lab services (Additional)
• Preparation of protocols
• Full logistic services e.g. Study-specific kit supplies with
barcodes, requisition forms
• Training of site staff in accordance with the laboratory
manual
• Integrated processing of laboratory data and reporting
using a laboratory information management system (LIMS).
• Project and data management
• Scientific expertise in study design and data interpretation
• Long-term storage of biological sample material, e.g. urine
and serum, at -20C and -80C
Protein FingerPrintTM
• The combination of a signature protein from a given tissue
and a pathology dependent protease results in the release of
unique tissue degradation fragments that we call
ProteinFingerPrintTM
– ProteinFingerPrintTM have specific neoepitopes and are thus
pathology specific
– ProteinFingerPrintTM are tissue derived biomarkers quantifiable in
Serum
Enzyme
Neoepitope specific antibody
No binding

Non-cleaved
Our accreditation & certifications
• We have one of the only two CAP labs in
Northern Europe/Scandinavia
• ISO 9001 certified
• GLP and GCP complied processes and services
• 21 CFR (11) compliant lab information system
