SISCAPA Assay Technologies
Developed by Cedars-Sinai researchers, the workflow uses immunoenrichment combined with acoustic ejection mass spec for high-throughput protein measurements.
The Stanford researcher and his colleagues have launched a pair of companies, Iollo and RHTM, to commercialize the approach.
The companies said that they envisioned the test, which is currently RUO, as potentially part of a mass spectrometry-based respiratory virus panel.
Highlights included mass spec-focused developments like data-independent acquisition and ion mobility along with platforms including Thermo Fisher's Q Exactive.
While the approach lost some of its luster after failing to deliver on early hype, technological improvements are revitalizing interest among researchers.
