Stretch your grant dollars further

Bio-Techne Grant Foundation Overview

ProteinSimple is pleased to introduce a new grant program that offers funding towards Milo™ or Wes™, our novel protein characterization platforms. For institutions who otherwise may not be able to afford to purchase a Milo or Wes, the Bio-Techne Grant Foundation may provide additional financial support. All academic or government labs qualify, but only those with a scientifically compelling need will be granted funding.

Milo-Single-Cell Western

Milo™ performs westerns on thousands of single-cells in parallel letting you profile heterogeneity in your complex samples. Have a protein target you can't measure with flow cytometry? Use conventional Western antibodies on Milo to simplify your phospho-flow or signaling studies. Milo can also provide protein validation data for your single-cell RNA-seq experiments.

Wes-Westerns just got simpler

Wes™ lets you separate and analyze proteins by size from 2-440 kDa. He also gets you down to pg-level sensitivity with just 3 µL of starting material. He also runs up to 25 samples in 3 hours flat and gives you quantitative, size-based data including total protein.
