AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing protein detection methods struggle with multiplex analysis, requiring high concentrations, variable antibody affinities, and fluorescence saturation, limiting sensitivity and dynamic range, especially for low copy number proteins.

Method used

A method using cleavable PEG tags attached to proteins via nanopores, where proteins are captured, tagged analytes are bound to antibodies near nanopores, and cleaved tags are detected electronically, generating unique current blockade signals for quantification.

Benefits of technology

Enables digital protein quantification at the single molecule level with a wide dynamic range, overcoming fluorescence limitations and providing scalable, high-throughput protein detection.
