Detecting Cancer Biomarkers at the Femtogram Level Using Single Molecule Counting

Heather Holeman, Ph.D., Head of Life Science Reagents and Kits, MilliporeSigma, introduces the SMCxPRO™, a new high sensitivity protein quantifier, at ACCR 2017. Dr. Holeman explains how single molecule counting technology allows researchers to detect biomarkers with femtogram sensitivity. Dr. Holeman also discusses the applications of the instrument in cancer research, including biomarker discovery, assay development and drug discovery.
