BIOMARKER ASSAY SERVICES
Biomarkers map the cellular physiology of disease models and are essential for target validation. With careful selection and interpretation, biomarkers complement behavioral and in-life physiological measurements to complete your data package.
We perform our routine and custom biomarker assays in-house to maintain our high standards of quality control, flexibility and turnaround time.
Our biomarker assays quantify serum concentrations, gene and protein expression using the latest technologies, and illuminate tissue morphology and cytology with H & E and special stains.
