Core offering

Full Moon BioSystems develops and manufactures antibody microarray-based products for high-throughput protein expression and phosphorylation profiling. The portfolio includes more than 35 antibody arrays, monoclonal antibodies, NanoBeads, reagent kits, and scanner evaluation tools. The company also offers full-service assay, array scanning, image analysis, custom array printing, and assay development services from its Sunnyvale, California laboratory.

Product overview

Full Moon BioSystems develops and manufactures antibody microarray-based products for high-throughput protein expression and phosphorylation profiling research. The core portfolio consists of more than 35 antibody arrays spanning exploratory panels (Signaling Explorer Array with 1,358 antibodies, Phospho Explorer Array with 1,318 antibodies) to targeted pathway-specific arrays (Cytokine Profiling Array with 310 antibodies, Cancer BioMarker Array with 247 antibodies, Signal Transduction Array with 165 antibodies), plus the SalivArray™ Biomarker Discovery Panel for non-invasive saliva-based research. Supporting products include NanoBeads, monoclonal antibodies (mouse and rabbit), reagent kits, and Scanner Evaluation Tools. The company offers complementary services including full assay service (sample processing through data delivery), complimentary array scanning, image analysis, custom array printing, and assay development. All arrays use ELISA-based technology with fluorescent detection on 3D polymer-coated glass slides.

Direct peers

• RayBiotech: RayBiotech is a direct competitor offering antibody arrays for cytokine, inflammation, and phosphorylation profiling with hundreds of array products and custom services — closely matching Full Moon's catalog and target customer base of academic and pharma researchers.
• Meso Scale Diagnostics (MSD): MSD provides multiplex biomarker immunoassays using electrochemiluminescence on patterned arrays, serving pharma biomarker discovery and clinical research — directly competing with Full Moon's antibody arrays for high-throughput protein profiling applications.

Broad incumbents

• Bio-Rad Laboratories: Bio-Rad offers the Bio-Plex multiplex suspension array system plus a broad life science reagents catalog, competing with Full Moon in cytokine/biomarker profiling while serving a much larger and more diversified customer base.
• Bio-Techne (R&D Systems): Bio-Techne's R&D Systems brand provides antibodies, ELISA kits, Luminex multiplex panels, and the Simple Western platform, serving the same academic and pharma research customers as Full Moon with overlapping biomarker and cytokine offerings.
• Merck MilliporeSigma: MilliporeSigma sells antibody arrays (including the well-known MILLIPLEX and LINCOplex multiplex kits) plus a vast catalog of antibodies and reagents, competing with Full Moon on broad multiplex protein profiling for research customers.
• Abcam: Abcam supplies a very large catalog of monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies, recombinant proteins, and immunoassay kits, with growing multiplex offerings — overlapping with Full Moon's antibody and reagent business at the researcher level.

Others

• Thermo Fisher Scientific: Thermo Fisher offers ProtoArray protein microarrays and a deep portfolio of antibodies, immunoassays, and proteomics instruments; it competes broadly with Full Moon across protein profiling and reagents, with greater scale and automation.

Emerging players

• Olink Holding: Olink's proximity extension assay (PEA) platform provides high-multiplex protein biomarker profiling for pharma and clinical research; it is an emerging substitute for antibody array workflows in biomarker discovery.
• SomaLogic (now part of Standard BioTools): SomaLogic's SomaScan aptamer-based proteomics platform measures thousands of proteins per sample and competes for the same biomarker discovery and translational research budget that Full Moon targets with its antibody arrays.
• Cell Signaling Technology (CST): CST is a leading provider of phosphorylation-state-specific antibodies and antibody-based assay kits, overlapping directly with Full Moon's Phospho Explorer and Signaling Explorer offerings in signaling pathway research.
