Amyloid Fibril Typing - Histology and Proteomic Analysis

Accurate identification of the amyloid fibril protein is the critical first step in the diagnostic pathway for any patient with amyloidosis.

For external and collaborative studies

Including amyloid fibril extraction, 1D gel analysis, non-human samples, protein MW analysis, protein purification, PTM analysis and general advice.
