An assay is an analytical procedure in laboratory medicine, pharmacology and molecular biology for measuring the activity of a target entity.
Regulatory changes are reshaping toxicology, with precision now at the forefront. We explore how accurate target analysis is transforming drug development, particularly for biotherapeutics.
Metrion Biosciences is set to accelerate its global expansion and enhance its leadership in ion channel drug discovery services.
The era of precision medicine demands more rigorous biomarker validation methods. While ELISA has long been the gold standard, advanced technologies such as LC-MS/MS and Meso Scale Discovery (MSD) offer superior precision, sensitivity and efficiency. Here, Prasad Lakshmanan Selvaraj, Director of Technical Review at Sannova, explains that by embracing these…
The emergence of new antibody-based therapeutics, such as antibody-drug conjugates, alongside a continued drive towards alternatives to animal testing approaches, highlights the need for precise and sensitive tools enabling the identification and characterisation of the best drug candidates for clinical progression. Capable of keeping up with the evolving drug development…
Sartorius have published its second edition High-Throughput Screening (HTS) by Cytometry handbook.
Sphere Fluidics have developed the Cyto-Mine® Chroma platform, which provides multiplexing and greater assay flexibility, reducing timelines and cost.
In this four-part series, Dr Raminderpal Singh will discuss the challenges surrounding limited data quality, and some pragmatic solutions. In this second article, he discusses the problems that occur when using data of poor quality.
