Today, the complete sequence of the human genome is known. The genome is all the genetic material contained in an organism, including its chromosomes, genes and DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid).
Less than 30,000 genes in the human genome contain the information needed to produce more than half a million human proteins (the proteome). These proteins determine, among other things, an organism's appearance, health, and sometimes behavior. Understanding the functionality of these proteins is the next challenge.

Proteomics can be defined as the qualitative and quantitative comparison of the proteome in normal, genetically manipulated or diseased states to help unravel biochemical and physiological processes. Understanding these processes at the functional molecular level can lead to new or improved medical treatments.

The challenge for proteomics scientists throughout the world is to handle the large number of samples and the mass of information generated by the "proteomics approach".

Proxeon, part of Thermo Fisher Scientific, is an established provider of innovative products focused towards the proteomics market. Taking advantage of core internal competencies, Proxeon develops products and solutions that fulfil the need to enhance performance, solve technical challenges, and thereby accelerate the proteomics workflow, from sample preparation through to data interpretation. In the field of mass spectrometry, Proxeon is one of the world's largest suppliers of nano ES emitters. The company's EASY-nLC^TM for nanoscale chromatography in LC-MS is the system of choice for several major MS suppliers. ProteinCenter ^TM, a unique tool for rapid data interpretation after protein identification by conventional search engines, is being used increasingly in proteomic laboratories.The company's products are used in leading academic and industrial research laboratories throughout the world. Proxeon is headquartered in Odense, Denmark.
