Early Research Solutions
Ligand Binding Assays continue to be the primary tool used in the biopharmaceutical sciences to quantitate proteins and anti-drug antibodies in biological fluids and tissues in early stage research, but LC-MS/MS can also be used with extremely selective sample enrichment strategies (immunoaffinity) or sensitive chromatographic approaches (microflow) in support of programs during early research stages.
KCAS has decades of experience in early research solutions using LBA and LC-MS/MS
KCAS has dedicated groups in pharmaceutical services to perform early stage rapid method development and analysis, as well as, regulated preclinical and clinical phases, with support offered through NDA submission. We have an arsenal of top of the line instrumentation with a team of experts throughout the company. The unified training within the departments and cross-training between them allows KCAS to have a quick and nimble response to growing demands at any given time point, to meet your project and program needs.
