Tissue Proteomics (FFPE & FF)

Proteomics Service

Comprehensive proteome characterization of tissue composition yielding actionable insights.

Biognosys Tissue Proteomics enables biomarker discovery, target validation, and mechanism‑of‑action studies with fresh frozen and FFPE tissue samples.

From as little as 1 mg of fresh frozen tissue or a single FFPE slide, we provide deep proteome coverage that includes intracellular, membrane-bound, secreted, and extracellular proteins. With this depth Tissue Proteomics covers therapeutically relevant targets in e.g. translational studies and clinical research.

The platform is based on label‑free, quantitative DIA mass spectrometry combined with optimized sample preparation and stringent quality control. Advanced data analysis using Biognosys’ Spectronaut software, ensures high data completeness, precise quantification, and scalable tissue proteomics.

Plasma Proteomics

Proteomics Service

Comprehensive plasma biomarker discovery for pre-clinical and clinical research.

Biognosys Plasma Proteomics enables large-scale, unbiased biomarker discovery and translational research directly in blood plasma. By addressing the wide dynamic range of plasma proteins, the approach supports the confident identification of low-abundance, disease-relevant proteins, making it well suited for discovery studies and cohort-level analyses.

We deliver deep and reproducible plasma proteome profiling with comprehensive coverage of signaling proteins, cytokines, growth factors, and other low-abundance biomarkers. Our data provides the quantitative consistency required for large cohorts and longitudinal studies across translational and clinical research settings.

The workflow is powered by Biognosys’ proprietary P2 Plasma Enrichment technology, which uses nanoparticle-based protein enrichment to cover a wider dynamic range and enhance detection of low-abundance proteins with label-free DIA mass spectrometry.

CSF Proteomics and Other Bodyfluids

Proteomics Service

End-to-end CSF biomarker discovery for preclinical and clinical research.

Biognosys CSF Proteomics enables unbiased biomarker discovery and biological insight into central nervous system (CNS) disorders. Cerebrospinal fluid is in direct contact with the brain and spinal cord and therefore reflects CNS pathology more directly than peripheral biofluids. Proteomic analysis of CSF supports the identification of disease-related processes, early pathological changes, and pharmacodynamic responses in neurodegenerative and neuroinflammatory diseases.

Using advanced enrichment strategies, we deliver in-depth CSF proteome profiling with coverage of up to ~6,000 proteins, including low-abundance and CNS-specific proteins. This depth enables the detection of biomarkers related to neuronal function, synaptic biology, neuroinflammation, and myelination, supporting discovery and translational studies in indications such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, and other CNS disorders.

CSF profiling is based on optimized protein enrichment combined with label-free, DIA mass spectrometry to address the limited protein content and dynamic range of CSF samples. Standardized sample preparation, high-performance LC–MS acquisition, and advanced data analysis using Spectronaut ensure high data completeness and reproducible quantification.

Surfaceome Profiling

Proteomics Service

Comprehensive surfaceome profiling to accelerate drug discovery.

Biognosys Glycoproteomics enables systematic profiling of the cell surfaceome to support biomarker discovery, target identification, and therapeutic development. Cell surface proteins play a central role in cell–cell communication, signal transduction, and immune recognition and are among the most druggable classes of proteins.

Our N-glycoproteomics workflows provide comprehensive and selective coverage of N-glycosylated surface proteins, enabling confident identification of receptors, transporters, adhesion molecules, and immune-related targets. The approach enriches low-abundance surface proteins that are often masked in bulk proteome analysis, supporting comparative surfaceome profiling across cell lines, treatments, or genetic perturbations.

Surfaceome profiling is implemented through N-glycopeptide enrichment integrated into our label-free DIA proteomics platform.

Cell Line Profiling

Proteomics Service

Cellular proteome mapping at scale.

Biognosys Cell Line Proteomics enables large-scale, unbiased proteomic screening to support functional biology, drug discovery, and mechanism-of-action studies.

We provide proteome-wide profiling of human and non-human cell lines using workflows optimized for screening applications. Per cell line, we routinely quantify up to ~10,000 proteins with high reproducibility, enabling robust comparisons across hundreds to thousands of samples and supporting studies that capture biological variability across treatments, genotypes, or perturbations.

Cell line profiling is based on standardized sample preparation combined with label-free, DIA mass spectrometry. High-throughput acquisition strategies and advanced data analysis using Spectronaut ensure reproducible, scalable proteomics, with expert project management supporting reliable interpretation in screening and discovery studies.

Phosphoproteomics

Proteomics Service

Full elucidation of cell signaling networks through comprehensive PTM-site mapping.

Biognosys Phosphoproteomics enables the systematic analysis of cellular signaling networks to support oncology research, early drug discovery, and mechanism-of-action studies. By directly measuring phosphorylation events at scale, it provides insight into pathway activation, kinase signaling, and treatment response that cannot be reliably inferred from transcriptomic or total proteome data alone.

From cell pellets or fresh frozen tissue, we routinely quantify ~25,000–65,000 class I phosphopeptides per study. This depth enables comprehensive coverage of key signaling pathways, supporting the identification of regulated phosphorylation sites, pathway-level changes, and phosphorylation targets for downstream validation across a range of experimental designs.

The workflow combines phosphopeptide enrichment with label-free DIA mass spectrometry. Data analysis is performed using Spectronaut with dedicated PTM workflows, enabling confident site identification, accurate quantification, and reproducible phosphoproteomic profiling across studies.
