Biomarker Exploratory Services
When developing a new assay from scratch, there are a number of specific processes that should be done early in the development process in order to properly define the biomarker’s intended purpose and how the assay’s resulting measurements will be used.
KCAS knows the questions you have about your biomarkers
At KCAS we have a number of biomarker platforms to perform single biomarker analysis or multiplexing biomarker analysis. We know the questions you should consider about matrix to use and assay sensitivity. We can help ensure that the assay is designed from the start to adequately meet the specific investigation’s ultimate goals, and KCAS will help you determine whether a qualified assay can be used to generate sufficient data on a biomarker’s potential usefulness, or if more thorough analytical validation will be required.
