Proper study and experimental design coupled with the correct data analysis approach are critical components of successful biomarker discovery, no matter which
technology, platform, or workflow is used. Bio-Rad has produced two in-depth guides to provide researchers with strategies for success.
The first guide, Biomarker Discovery Using SELDI Technology — A Guide to Successful Study and Experimental Design, provides a series of general guidelines for effective study design using virtually any proteomics technology, and gives specific recommendations for using the ProteinChip® surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization (SELDI) system.
This guide also includes:
- Guidelines for proper sample selection, collection, handling, and storage
- Instructions for planning the experimental workflow
- Tips on improving reproducibility through standard operating procedures
- Important considerations for data analysis implementation
- Optimized methods and protocols for serum or plasma analysis

The second guide, Biomarker Discovery Using SELDI Technology — A Guide to Data Processing and Analysis Using ProteinChip®
Data Manager Software, is a comprehensive resource for data analysis workflows, guidelines, and specific recommendations for analyzing biomarker discovery
data.
The guide covers:
- General data analysis workflows
- Data organization
- Data processing steps, including baseline subtraction, normalization, and spectrum alignment
- Statistical analysis using P values and ROC curves, hierarchical clustering, and principal component analysis
- Glossary of software terms
