IonStar System Measure Proteins to Diagnose Disease

IonStar System Measure Proteins to Diagnose Disease
May-17-18
The IonStar aids in disease diagnosis by accurately measuring and comparing protein concentrations in groups of people.

Measuring protein concentrations can help diagnose difficult to identify diseases, but previous technology has not performed well when attempting to detect low concentrations of proteins. To overcome this obstacle, the team from the State University of New York at Buffalo created the IonStar proteomics system, which was able to reduce “the amount of missing data in results from 17 percent to 0.1 percent” when compared to the leading system—MaxQuant.

The sophisticated system could be particularly useful in measuring protein concentrations to detect brain injuries or accurately analyze large numbers of people to identify and track biomarkers.
