BD-pTau 217 and Alpha-Synuclein Biomarker Detection On-Demand Webinar
Watch this on-demand webinar to learn how BD-pTau 217 and alpha-synuclein biomarker detection can support neurodegenerative disease research, including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and related synucleinopathies.
Reliable measurement of blood-based neurodegenerative biomarkers remains a significant challenge, particularly for low-abundance targets such as brain-derived pTau 217, total alpha-synuclein, and pS129-alpha-synuclein. In this webinar, Dr. Tracy Liu, Director of Product Management at Spear Bio, discusses how advances in ultra-sensitive immunoassay technology are helping researchers generate more consistent and interpretable biomarker data across healthy and disease populations.

Ultra-Sensitive BD-pTau 217 Detection for Alzheimer’s Research
BD-pTau 217 is an important biomarker for Alzheimer’s disease research, with potential applications across early detection, disease stratification, therapeutic monitoring, and longitudinal studies.
Spear Bio’s ultra-sensitive immunoassay technology is designed to help researchers measure challenging low-abundance biomarkers in blood with confidence. By supporting reliable BD-pTau 217 detection, Spear Bio helps advance research into Alzheimer’s disease pathology and progression.
Alpha-Synuclein Detection for Parkinson’s Disease Research
Total alpha-synuclein and pS129-alpha-synuclein are key biomarkers for Parkinson’s disease and related synucleinopathies. Measuring both total and phosphorylated alpha-synuclein on the same platform may enable deeper biological insight, including ratio-based analyses that support research into disease progression and patient stratification.
Spear Bio’s alpha-synuclein assays are designed to support sensitive and consistent detection of these biomarkers in neurodegenerative disease research.
