Protein detection assays are invaluable tools in the field of biomarker discovery. However, only immunoassays are widely used and can measure 10-20 analytes per biosample. The novel SOMAmer-based assay uses nucleotide aptamer technology to measure over 1300 analytes per biosample. We compared the SOMAmer-based platform to traditional approaches to quantify analytes in a clinical setting with paired samples before and after cardiac surgery.
