BACKGROUND

Protein microarrays have begun to fulfill their great potential. They are now recognized as critical tools for proteomics, biomarker research and drug discovery. They allow discovery and analysis of protein expression patterns, posttranslational modifications and protein interactions involved in cell growth and differentiation, environmental and drug responses and disease progression such as in cancer. Cited in more than 150 publications, FAST Slides have proven to be the surface of choice for designing and building protein microarrays. The surface is a proprietary nitrocellulose coating that non-covalently binds proteins maintaining their native structure. Nitrocellulose provides a homogeneous 3-D surface for uniform protein binding and significantly greater binding capacity than 2-D or ultrathin coatings. FAST Slides have been optimized for performance in protein, reverse phase and antibody arrays. Fast Slides are compatible with existing robotics and all methods of detection. Our focus on quality at Maine Manufacturing ensures production of the most consistent surface possible providing the most reproducible results with every slide every time. With sensitivities down to attamoles (10-18 molar) and near quantitative capture over a broad dynamic range of four orders of magnitude, FAST Slides offer unparalleled detection ability, reproducibility and reliability.
