For the 4th episode of “The Conversational Flow” podcast, Brian and Adam discuss spectral flow; something really near and dear to their hearts. This is a topic both of our hosts have been genuinely interested in since they really became aware of it, at which time they immediately…

Immunogenicity refers to the ability of a substance, such as an antigen or a vaccine, to provoke an immune response in an organism. The recognition of the substance as foreign triggers an immune response, which involves the production of antibodies and the activation of immune cells to fight against or…

For the final episode of “The Weekly Bioanalysis” in 2023, Dom and John invited KCAS’s scientific advisory team to join them, as we thought that as we are coming to the end of the year, it might be a good opportunity to introduce a few members of the…

Two of the scientific experts from KCAS Bio have been leaders in determining the direction of qPCR and ddPCR technology for the industry. Carrie Vyhlidal, PhD and Jonathan Mercier are both part of the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists’ working group for PCR-based methodology, and they have recently…

KCAS established our clinical sample kit (CSK) team in the early 1990s in response to shortcomings we observed in the collection techniques in trials where we were providing bioanalytical support. As the group has evolved, our aim has never been to be the biggest supplier in the industry but rather…

Flow cytometry is a highly sophisticated laboratory technique. Scientists use this procedure to analyze and quantify certain physical and chemical characteristics of cells or particles. In recent years, the prominence of flow cytometry has grown significantly, and understanding why is pivotal. The recognition of the technique’s importance, especially in the…

There are a number of different guidances for Flow Cytometric Assay Validation, so for episode #3 of “The Conversational Flow” podcast, Brian and Adam go into great detail on how we perform validations at KCAS, and under what context we do so – and why. In this episode,…
