A biomarker is a defined characteristic that is measured as an indicator of normal biological processes, pathogenic processes, or biological responses to an exposure or intervention, including therapeutic interventions(1). With the development of innovative and personalized therapies, biomarker tracking is increasingly important to support the clinical development…

Immunophenotyping has undergone a seismic change in less than two decades as panel sizes have increased in complexity from <10 to >40 colors. Let’s explore how immunophenotyping is transforming the field and how FlowMetric, a KCAS…

In an exciting development, KCAS, through its subsidiary FlowMetric, is expanding its flow services in Europe. With a history of providing cutting-edge flow services in the EU, KCAS is taking a significant step forward by transitioning services from its Milan, Italy site to…

Biologics are drugs derived from complex molecules like antibodies. Over the last two decades they have re-emerged as…

As with the lineup of equine subjects above, cell populations can take similar forms and act the same in a lot of ways – but to the trained eye, there are clear…

In the world of scientific research and development, certain analytes pose unique challenges that require specialized expertise to overcome. Oligonucleotides, a class of analytes consisting of short DNA or RNA sequences, are notorious for their complexity and demanding nature. With their increasing importance in the…

In recent years, immunology…
