Streamline Protein Screening with the Power of Protein Barcodes and Next-Generation Protein Sequencing™
Characterize multiple protein variants simultaneously using protein barcodes on Platinum®.
Request More InfoWhy use protein barcodes on Platinum?
Protein barcoding provides users with a robust method to screen multiple protein variants in a single pooled reaction. Protein variants are tagged with short, unique peptide barcodes that identify each variant; after a protein screening or characterization step, the barcodes are released and sequenced directly on Platinum.
Discover the many applications of protein barcoding, for example:
- Protein Trafficking: Sequence protein barcodes to track which variants are present in different cellular compartments.
- Protein-Protein Interactions: Screen panels of protein variants that impact protein interactions.
- Recombinant Protein Expression: Use protein barcodes to identify which mRNA coding sequence variants produce the highest protein expression levels.
- Protein engineering: Screen barcoded protein variants for desired traits in therapeutic, industrial, environmental, and other application areas.

Quantum-Si’s Next-Generation Protein Sequencer™ Enables Protein Detection and Peptide Characterization -Posters US HUPO | 2024
Sequencing proteins and correlating amino acid changes to biological function is critical to advancing our understanding of human health and disease. Next-Generation Protein Sequencing™ (NGPS) on Platinum® enables researchers to identify and characterize proteins with single-molecule resolution in a simple workflow and on a benchtop instrument. To demonstrate the versatility of Platinum and the use of Kinetic Signatures, we sequenced various types of samples, including recombinant proteins, protein mixtures, immunoprecipitated proteins, peptide barcodes, and peptides with Post Translational Modifications (PTMs).
Furthermore, we showcased the detection of peptide barcodes along with the utilization of barcoding techniques to streamline protein engineering applications.
Recent product enhancements to the platform include new sequencing kit and chip chemistry as well as advanced analytical software tools. These enhancements unlock new applications such as the use of protein inference to study unknown protein samples.
