Novel Protein Analysis Tool Could Boost Quality and Accuracy of Medical Diagnosis

University at Buffalo scientists say they have developed a new protein analysis tool that could vastly increase the speed and precision with which disease and drug effects are analyzed. Called IonStar, it is the first to provide near-perfect accuracy when quantifying and comparing the abundance of proteins in the bodies of people who are healthy and ill, according to the researchers.Compared to industry standard MaxQuant, IonStar improved the measurement consistency of proteins in low
