Glycosylation, as a a post-translational modification, has the feature of structural complexity, which increases the difficulty of analysiing glycoproteins. Although it has been predicted that about 50 percent proteins are glycosylated, only 10 percent glycoproteins have been identified so far. To support researchers in glycoprotein related study, MtoZ Biolabs provides LC-MS/MS based glycosylation sites analysis and glycoprotein type analysis services at this site.
Collaboration between IONTAS, Cambridge, Instituto Clodomiro Picado (Universidad de Costa Rica), and Technical University of Denmark to develop fully human IgG antibodies that neutralise black mamba snake venom in vivo. Each year, around two million people fall victim to snakebite envenoming, which leads to more than 100,000 deaths and approximately 400,000 cases of severe sequalae, such as amputation. Particularly, impoverished victims living in snake-infested areas of the tropics are at risk....

Antibodies are widely used in pre-clinical research to study proteins and their functions in biological pathways and diseased states. These tools, with their high specificity and sensitivity, help life science researchers to easily identify proteins of interest at various expression levels. However, a growing number of high-impact studies and publications have shown that not all antibodies are specific; contributing to the increasing amount of irreproducible pre-clinical research. The most accepted method for validating antibody specificity is through knockout validation...
In the electronics quality control (QC) process by which entities review the quality of all factors involved in production, a visual product inspection is often performed. Here, every product is examined visually, often using a microscope due to the miniaturization before the product is sold into the external market. Inspectors will be provided with lists and descriptions of unacceptable product defects such as cracks or surface blemishes. Using a digital microscope enables the inspector to faster detect product defects by checking the magnified boards in FULL HD image quality.
