Analysing Molecular measurements with HSA KIT
Our Nanopores module is designed to seamlessly automate the analysis of analytes, optimizing both accuracy and efficiency. Here’s how it works:
1. Baseline Detection: The software automatically establishes a baseline noise level for each dataset. Using advanced algorithms, it distinguishes genuine signal peaks from background noise, ensuring that only significant data points are flagged for further analysis.
Once the baseline measurement is read, the amplitude (yellow) of the peaks is noted, and any signal which appears to deviate, is recorded as a negative signal (red).
2. Signal Identification: Once the baseline is set, pattern recognition techniques are used to identify specific signal patterns associated with different analytes. This automation minimizes human error and accelerates the overall analysis process.
The process involves analysing signals after addition of an analyte A with high concentration (400 nM). The positive signal (yellow) data is compared with the baseline to check deviations.
Moreover, some deviations which point towards a possible nanopore malfunction (red), for example a shifted baseline for some period of time; are also detected. The readings are excluded from the analysis but their frequency is recorded for quality assessment.
3. Signal Analysis: Once positive signals are identified, height and width of each peak is checked, and subordinate peaks are groups accordingly. The peak height (green) often correlates with the quantity or concentration of a specific molecule passing through the nanopore. Larger molecules or higher concentrations will typically generate larger signal changes. The width (red) can indicate the duration a molecule interacts with the nanopore. Longer interactions might suggest bigger or more complex molecules.
4. Concetration Analysis: For the same analyte, different concentrations can be studied to study their behavior. Positive signals are analysed for each concentration level, until there are no positive signals identified.
Such type of analysis have various advantages:
- Concentration-Dependent Interactions: Analyte’s interaction dynamics with the nanopore can be studied. This helps in understanding whether the analyte forms aggregates or complexes that affect signal characteristics.
- Sensitivity Analysis:This involves identifying the minimum concentration that produces a detectable signal.
- Generating Calibration Curves: By analyzing signals from known concentrations, calibration curves can be created that helps in quantifying unknown sample concentrations. This is essential for ensuring accurate measurements in experimental and real-world applications.
- Analyzing Binding Affinity:Concentration studies can reveal how strongly an analyte binds to a specific site on the nanopore or associated molecules, providing insights into binding affinity and kinetics.
- Saturation Points:Identifying saturation points where increasing concentration no longer increases signal assists in understanding binding site availability and analyte saturation behavior.
- Reproducibility Assessments:Conducting experiments across varying concentrations aids in evaluating the consistency and reproducibility of nanopore measurements. This ensures robustness and reliability of the observed data.
5. Threshold Adjustments: The software dynamically adjusts thresholds based on the real-time assessment of signal changes, enhancing its ability to detect subtle shifts in analyte concentrations.
6. Comparative Analysis: It is also possible to compare signals of two different analytes at different concentrations. This comparison can be done based on the results calculated for each analyte, for example: signal height, signal width, number of signal groups. According to such different characteristics, a classification model determines which analyte is present in unknown samples and estimate their concentration.
