Problem
Current proteomic testing solutions are primarily designed for discovery and research, not routine clinical operations. These platforms are often unaffordable for many laboratories, lack market access for clinical applications, and are not bi-directionally scalable, limiting the ability of diagnostic and clinical labs to run targeted biomarker tests cost-effectively.
Solution
Pictor provides a streamlined and cost-effective proteomics platform designed specifically for clinical laboratory use. The Pictor Platform combines the PictArray consumable, PictImager analyzer, and Pictorial software to enable simultaneous measurement of multiple biomarker insights from diverse sample types including blood, saliva, plasma, and milk. The system supports up to 20 analytes per well in a 96-well format, with results available in under two hours. The platform is plug-and-play, requiring no mass-spec or sequencing infrastructure and no specialized training, making targeted proteomics testing accessible for any lab budget. Off-the-shelf or custom disease-specific panels can be co-developed to meet specific diagnostic needs, with the instrument and assays costing a fraction of alternative approaches.
Target Audience
Primary customers are clinical laboratories, diagnostics manufacturers, research institutions, and veterinary clinics seeking affordable, routine targeted biomarker testing solutions that integrate easily into existing workflows without specialized training or infrastructure.
Features
- PictArray consumable: 96-well format with array printed within each well, supporting up to 20 analytes per well with high sensitivity and specificity
