Pictor, Inc. Partners with Protean BioDiagnostics to Advance Autoimmune and Chronic Infectious Disease Diagnostics
San Diego, California: Pictor, Inc., has entered into a collaboration agreement with Protean BioDiagnostics to address the unmet needs of autoimmune and chronic infectious diseases.
Under the agreement, Protean BioDiagnostics will develop and validate the Pictor PictHealthTM Extractable Nuclear Antigen (ENA) IgG Multiplex ELISA, which identifies antibodies associated with autoimmune diseases to help diagnose and monitor lupus and other connective tissue disorders. These autoantibodies may attack the body’s own tissues, leading to inflammation, organ damage, and related complications. The Pictor PictHealthTM is a suite of high-performance multiplexed ELISA products for human health. Utilizing a next generation approach with multiple antigens micro-printed into each well of a 96-well plate provides much more diagnostic information from both serum and saliva samples in under 2.5 hours.
“We are excited to launch the partnership with Protean BioDiagnostics on the ENA Autoimmune Panel. We look forward to future collaboration to advance Pictor’s cutting-edge, accessible proteomics technology to modernize traditional inefficient ELISA methods. Pictor is disrupting conventional approaches through price, performance, and productivity to bring proteomics to the point of need. The partnership will support Protean’s development of other products to help address unmet needs for more rapid and affordable diagnostic solutions.”
-Jamie Platt, PhD. CEO and Executive Director, Pictor, Inc.
“We are thrilled to team up with Pictor and their technology platform which enables rapid and accurate test results in rare and infectious diseases.”
-Anthony Magliocco, MD. President and CEO, Protean Biodiagnostics, Inc.
