Yesterday I really wanted to play basketball and I walked onto a court even though there were high school kids on it. Every ice pack in our home has been in use since, so I was feeling pretty dumb.
Wow, do I feel better now. Someone bought IGNITE Proteomics for $150,000,000.00 dollars.
If you aren't familiar, Ignite is a reverse protein array. Their only current product that I'm aware of is a 32 protein panel that costs $2,200 per sample. I think that I might limp into work and see if my team can measure those same 32 proteins in human blood or serum with a mass spectrometer far more accurately than any protein array could. Then we can all go back to what we were doing after lunch.
The proteomics industry is alive and well today! And investors are still out there making the same decisions!
