Proteomic, Spatial, and Multiomic Services
Carolina Molecular provides a comprehensive suite of proteomic, spatial, and multiomic services. By integrating cutting-edge technologies from industry-leading partners, we empower you to move from discovery to clinical insight, faster.
Complex Biology, Simplified.
The next breakthrough in therapeutic development and disease mechanism research won’t come from a single data point. It will come from integrating high-plex proteomics, single-cell transcriptomics, and high-resolution spatial biology.
As your CRO partner, we provide innovative assay platforms in multiomics for diverse research needs and sample types through Carolina Molecular’s accredited laboratory. We also offer Bioinformatics in-house to answer complex biological questions, from experimental design, to pipeline development, and reporting.
SimpleCell™ scRNA-Seq Platform
An innovative, instrument-free single-cell platform that leverages a novel molecular process called Kinetic Confinement. This thermodynamic approach controls molecular diffusion to enable high-fidelity single-cell indexing in standard, solution-phase reactions within PCR tubes or plates. This scalable workflow generates sequencer-ready 3’ scRNA-Seq libraries in a single day, overcoming the throughput and cost limitations of microfluidic or droplet-based systems.

Proxiome™ Kit (Protein Interactomics)
A single-cell spatial proteomics assay, based on the Proximity Network Assay (PNA), that maps the cell surface protein interactome. The technology uses DNA-barcoded antibodies to target proteins. When antibodies are in close proximity, their DNA tags are amplified in situ via rolling circle amplification (RCA). A subsequent ligation step forms connections between neighboring RCA products, creating a proximity network that is quantified by NGS. This reveals nanoscale-resolution data on protein-protein interactions, co-localization, and clustering on a cell-by-cell basis.

High-Content Imaging & Cell Painting
An advanced, imaging-based approach to functional biology, often utilizing the Cell Painting assay. This method uses a multiplexed palette of fluorescent dyes to “paint” multiple cellular components (e.g., nucleus, mitochondria, cytoskeleton, ER). Automated high-content microscopy captures multi-channel images, and sophisticated image analysis software extracts thousands of quantitative morphological features (size, shape, texture, intensity). This creates a high-dimensional “phenotypic profile” or “fingerprint” for each cell, which is then analyzed using machine learning to functionally characterize drug response or disease states.

Luminex® Multiplex Immunoassays
A robust and sensitive bead-based immunoassay platform for the simultaneous quantification of up to 80 different proteins (cytokines, chemokines, growth factors, etc.) from a single, low-volume sample (25-50µL).
GeoMx® Digital Spatial Profiler
A powerful spatial biology platform that enables high-plex, spatially-resolved profiling of both RNA and protein from any region of interest (ROI) on a tissue slide. It works with fresh frozen (FF) and FFPE samples, allowing you to unlock data from archived cohorts.
Maximize Your Data
Link cellular phenotypes to molecular signatures, and integrate transcriptomic data with proteomic insights. Maximize the biological insights from clinical specimens through strategic, complementary assay selection.
