CyTOF and spectral flow cytometry are widely used technologies for high-dimensional single cell profiling of immune cells. Both technologies enable multiparameter single-cell analysis, but they differ significantly in how data are generated, how quickly studies can be executed, and how flexible an assay can be tailored for a specific…

In nonclinical development, the transition from in vitro potential to in vivo reality is governed by a single, fundamental metric: dose formulation analysis. Dose formulation analysis in nonclinical studies serves as a critical control point, ensuring that dosing accuracy, consistency, and stability are maintained throughout the study lifecycle. For scientific…

The world of medicine relies heavily on innovation, and Contract Research Organizations (CROs) are key players behind the scenes. But what exactly is a CRO, and why are these organizations so crucial to the development of new therapies and medical advancements? Let’s explore what CROs do and why they’re vital…

Some molecules refuse to be easy to study. In this case, the drug was highly charged, sticky, and extremely sensitive to proteolysis, and previous partner labs had already struggled with it; “they’ve never seen anything like this before!” Keeping the entire process, from method transfer, optimization, validation, and GLP…

Understanding Pharmacodynamics in Drug Development Pharmacodynamics (PD) examines the biochemical and physiological effects of drugs and the mechanisms behind those effects. While pharmacokinetics (PK) evaluates how the body processes a drug, pharmacodynamics focuses on how the drug affects the biological system. For bioanalytical scientists, the emphasis is typically on…
