Single-Cell Westerns Unlock the single-cell proteome - 2

Meet Milo. He does Single-Cell Westerns that’ll let you measure protein expression in thousands of single cells in a single run. You’ll get it all done in 4–6 hours with no overnight transfer step. And you can use off-the-shelf primary Western antibodies too — try that with flow cytometry! Milo measures protein expression heterogeneity and identifies cell subpopulations so you can make measurements you can’t make any other way and uncover novel insights about your samples! How can Milo help you? • Validate single-cell RNA data at the protein level • Measure proteins that don’t have good...

Validate single-cell RNA data at the protein level. Milo provides protein heterogeneity information to validate your single-cell RNA data. Since mRNA levels do not always correlate with functional protein levels, pairing single-cell RNA data with single-cell protein expression data is critical to making accurate and complete conclusions about cellular function. Because Milo uses the large Western catalog of antibodies & can easily measure proteins irrespective of their location in or on a cell, Milo is the only platform with the versatility to detect diverse targets that are discovered in...

Simplify and augment your flow and mass cytometry assays. MORE ANTIBODIES Struggling to find a good flow or mass cytometry antibody for your target of interest? Milo is an open platform so you can use the large commercial catalog of Western antibodies which is 10-100x larger than the flow cytometry antibody catalog. SIMPLIFY WORKFLOWS Need to speed up your assay development time? Eliminate the fixation and permeabilization steps of flow cytometry! Milo chemically lyses the cells captured on the scWest chip before analysis to gain access to intracellular and intranuclear compartments more...

Profile heterogeneity with quantitative data. You can image probed scWest chips with any open-format fluorescence microarray scanner including the InnoScan 710 two-color or InnoScan 1100 three-color scanners. Then just upload the images in Scout Software to identify the peak(s) for your target(s) of interest in each lane and quantitate abundance of each target in each single-cell. Create histograms to see how expression of your protein target(s) varies across your sample or to study protein expression in specific subpopulations of cells. Milo can even be used to quantify transfection...

One simple workflow. Single-Cell Westerns happen on scWest chips. Put your cell suspension on the chip and put the chip in Milo. He captures 1000+ cells, lyses them, runs an SDS-PAGE separation on every single-cell lysate, and immobilizes all your separated proteins in 5 minutes flat! Next, just probe your protein targets on-chip with standard primary and fluorescent secondary antibodies and image chip fluorescence. Scout will then automate your data analysis for you! One simple process lets you measure diverse targets and profile heterogeneity in your complex samples! Add 1 mL of a...

Multiplex 12+ proteins per cell. Multiplexing? Just probe the scWest chip with your favorite cocktail of primary antibodies and measure 12 or more proteins in every single cell. You can use molecular weight differences or distinct spectral channels to differentiate your targets in each probing round. scWest chips can also be stripped and reprobed up to 9 times so you can design highly multiplexed studies that match or exceed the most powerful flow cytometers. No matter what color or order you image your targets in, Scout Software makes sure all your proteins are detected in each cell....
