Zephyrus can do Western blots on thousands of cells at once with single-cell resolution
November 17, 2014 8:00 AM UTC
Zephyrus Biosciences Inc. is developing its scWestern technology to perform Western blots on thousands of cells with single-cell resolution, which will enable researchers to study how protein concentrations vary within heterogeneous cell populations quickly and cheaply using common lab tools and techniques.
Applications of the system include studying subpopulations of cells that respond differently or develop resistance to treatments, or understanding the heterogeneity of differentiation to improve the purity of stem cells for therapeutic use...
