Develops technology for protein detection and measurement

About Alamar Biosciences

Alamar Biosciences focuses on the study of proteins, known as proteomics, to enhance disease detection and treatment. The company has created NULISA™, a technology that can detect and measure proteins in the human body with high sensitivity and a wide range. This allows researchers and clinicians to profile clinically relevant protein biomarkers, which are essential for developing new diagnostic tests and treatments for various diseases. Alamar's ARGO™ system complements NULISA™ by providing a fully automated, high-throughput platform for precision proteomics. Unlike competitors, Alamar's technology simplifies the process, reducing the need for extensive technical expertise, making it more accessible to clients. The goal of Alamar Biosciences is to improve our understanding of proteins in health and disease, ultimately leading to better early detection and treatment options.
