Simultaneous testing for research applications

Adhesion molecules are proteins capable of binding to other molecules on the surface of an adjacent cell or part of the extracellular matrix. They are grouped into four main families: the selectins, the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily, integrins and cadherins.

Adhesion molecules play a key role in development and immune processes,  for example in the functions of leukocytes where they mediate leukocyte contact with blood vessel endothelia. Adhesion molecules can be found in the cell membrane or as soluble proteins in the blood. Altered levels of these proteins have been found in pathological states including cardiovascular disease, stroke and cancer.

All analytes on the adhesion molecule array can be measured simultaneously with one small sample using Biochip Array Technology. The Evidence analyser offers a throughput of 135 tests per hour, the Evidence Investigator achieves 225 tests in under three hours.
