Merck Millipore has announced a collaboration with Proteomics International to validate biomarkers related to diabetic nephropathy.
Merck Millipore has announced a collaboration with Proteomics International to validate biomarkers related to diabetic nephropathy.
The union will allow Proteomics International to assess its 13 newly identified putative protein biomarkers, that include proteins involved in metabolism, inflammation and oxidative stress, using Merck Millipore’s multiplex immunoassays. This will mean that, once validated, the biomarkers could be used to effectively monitor the progression and prognosis of kidney disease in patients with diabetes.
Jehangir Mistry, PhD, director of R&D at Merck Millipore, said, “We expect this opportunity will enable Merck Millipore to expand our substantial portfolio of Elisa and Milliplex multiplexed-bead based assays for diabetes and metabolic disease biomarkers.”
Richard Lipscombe, PhD, managing director of Proteomics International, commented, “We chose to partner with Merck Millipore because of their extensive portfolio of developed protein biomarkers and custom assay development expertise. We are very excited to be working with them to progress our initial discovery of these biomarkers that could improve diagnosis and health outcomes on such a large scale.”

Sustainable Green Solvents in Microextraction: A Review of Recent Advancements
March 27th 2024Conventional sample preparation can be time- and resource-consuming, and a green analytical methodology can be a game-changer for scientists, in addition to facilitating selective and sensitive separations.
Transferring Methods to Compact and Portable HPLC
February 14th 2024The current trend in laboratory equipment design is the miniaturization of laboratory instruments. Smaller-scale HPLC instruments offer benefits that cannot be matched by analytical-scale equipment, especially in the areas of portability, reduced fluid volumes, and reduced operating costs. Yet, the miniaturization of laboratory equipment has brought with it a unique set of challenges, including transferring methods to compact LC. Capillary LC expands the use of LC to applications not currently done using conventional LC in a wide array of application areas, including pharmaceutical, food and beverage, petrochemical, environmental, and oil and gas. Greg Ward, Axcend’s CEO wrote, “Customers want an HPLC system with a small footprint, low flow rates and green chemistry.” Join his podcast where he shares method transfer in these application areas.
High-Throughput Analysis of Volatile Compounds in Air, Water, and Soil Using SIFT-MS (Apr 2024)
March 27th 2024This study demonstrates high-throughput analysis of BTEX compounds from several matrices (air, water and soil). Detection limits in the single-digit part-per-billion concentration range (by volume) are readily achievable within seconds using SIFT-MS, because sample analysis is achieved without chromatography, pre-concentration, or drying. We also present a calibration approach that enables speciation of ethylbenzene from the xylenes in real time.
