Novatia and Protasis Team Up for Biofluids Analysis with HT-NMR
An analysis of biofluids (e.g., blood, urine, cell extracts, etc.) provides a snapshot of the biological processes of an individual that can be used in applications from diagnostics to drug efficacy and toxicity. The Protasis/MRM capillary NMR automation system is an essential component of Novatia's biofluid NMR package and allows us to provide a unique service to the research community."

One-Minute NMR™
Delivers Trouble-Free Human Serum Analysis
August, 2005 --
Novatia
and Protasis have teamed up to demonstrate the efficiency and efficacy of
One-Minute NMR in high throughput biofluids analysis. Novatia, an analytical
services contract laboratory, has provided field support to Protasis for
installations of their CapNMR probes on the East Coast for three years. This
year, Novatia has decided to expand their pharmaceutical and biotechnology
support services to include high throughput NMR using the premium Protasis
Discovery Tower with One-Minute NMR software. Performance trials earlier this
year were promising enough to allow Novatia to sign a significant contract with
a biotech company to run several thousand serum samples for biomarker research.
The Protasis One-Minute NMR platform offers high sensitivity, excellent data
quality, low reagent consumption and is several times faster than conventional
systems. This combination enables Novatia to make the best use of the NMR time
that they lease through Princeton University’s very generous Industrial Partners
Program. Novatia has written about their initial experiences with One-Minute NMR
in an eight page application note, complete with performance statistics. This
application note is available for downloading from the Protasis web site.
