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.
