Nautilus™ Proteome Analysis Platform
A single-molecule proteomics platform designed to deliver novel proteomic data with unprecedented breadth and depth
Next-generation proteomics
Simultaneous analysis of billions of proteins at the single-molecule level powers both broadscale discovery proteomics and targeted proteoform studies on our next-generation proteomics platform.
Broadscale discovery proteomics
Broadscale analyses reveal the breadth of the proteome and quantify proteins across its wide dynamic range. The Nautilus Platform employs a methodology called "Protein Identification by Short-Epitope Mapping" (PrISM) for broadscale proteomics and is designed to analyze substantively the entire proteome of a biological sample using multi-affinity probes. With an integrated workflow and an output of accessible protein counts, our platform should enable any scientist to interrogate changes to the proteome.
Targeted proteoform analysis
Targeted proteoform analyses provide in-depth views of individual protein molecules. They enable researchers to determine the biological impacts of the full patterns of modification found on proteoforms. The Nautilus Platform is designed to identify targeted sets of modifications on full-length, single-molecule proteins and reveal, at scale, how proteoforms alter biology.

Accessible
Molecular labs can easily generate proteomic data from complex biological samples with simple workflows and automated data analysis and interpretation.
Integrated workflow from sample prep to protein quantification
Protein library preparation
Proteins are functionalized to produce a library of single-molecules on a hyper-dense nanoarray.
Decoding and quantification
Fluorescently labeled multi-affinity probes interrogate single proteins on the array and machine learning transforms each pattern of binding into protein identity and quantity.
Digital protein counts can be analyzed to discover new biology
The platform generates a simple output format with protein identities and counts. Data can be further analyzed in Nautilus’ cloud portal to derive biological insights.
Protein library preparation
Proteins are functionalized to produce a library of single-molecules on a hyper-dense nanoarray.
Proteoform identification and quantification
Targeted probes specific to proteoforms of interest are used to identify proteoforms on the platform. Quantification is performed by counting how many molecules of each proteoform are observed.
Data interpretation
Quantified proteoforms are analyzed with a variety of visualization tools to reveal new insights.
