The field of proteomics provides opportunities to explain disease mechanisms and to discover diagnostic markers for early detection of diseases, but the complexity of proteomic samples makes their comprehensive analysis and characterization very difficult. Proteomic pattern analysis can be a first step for the detection of novel diagnostic markers out of body fluids when comparing mass-fingerprints from patients with those from control. Proteins are adsorbed onto carrier materials, which are selected for their ability to attract a particular type of protein, then a matrix solution is added...
