Intracellular cytokine staining (ICS) is a functional immunology assay that uses flow cytometry to assess cytokine production by individual cells. Cytokines play a critical role in developing both physiologically appropriate and pathological immune responses. Interferon-γ (IFN-γ) is an excellent example of this, where it has a key role in antiviral…

It’s conference season! This is a busy, busy time of the year for the entire industry, when everyone comes together from around the world to share, listen and discuss the changes and advancements taking place in the business and science of the pharma and biotech space. During this episode of…

Oligonucleotide therapeutics have recently gained popularity as noted by recent increases in regulatory approvals of oligonucleotides as drugs, novel liquid nanoparticle delivery approaches, and on-target specificity. In the development of bioanalytical assays, there are many challenging aspects to consider when quantitating oligonucleotides, such as non-specific binding, stability, efficient ionization, sequence…

Webinar Description: KCAS Bio will present results from a recent validation of two IP panels on the Cytek Aurora in PBMCs. We have analyzed the impact of different fixation buffers on the efficacy of reference controls over time, and we will explore how to help improve workflow standards and process…

Webinar Description: Biomarkers are a critical aspect of bioanalytical testing, as they provide a vast amount of information, from the effects of a drug on the subject to determining the drug’s mechanism of action and the correct dose for a patient. When developing a biomarker, it is important to understand…

During the most recent episode of “The Conversational Flow” podcast, our hosts Brian and Adam talk about those times when a smaller panel might be desirable over a larger panel. To dive deep into this discussion and really analyze all the angles of these questions, the guys have invited a…

KCAS Bio has embarked on a global initiative to harmonize its spectral flow cytometry services across four labs in three countries, collaborating with Crux Biolabs and Cytek Biosciences. This effort ensures standardized flow cytometry services across sites in the U.S., Europe, and Australia. As trials increasingly span multiple regions, global…

After such a great response to our recent episode on the topic, our hosts, Dom and John, revisit the topic of GLP-1 Analogue development and the role bioanalysis plays in this relatively new and popular topic. In the words of John, “Everyone else is talking about this; why shouldn’t we?”…

We are thrilled to announce a major milestone in the evolution of our global clinical support services. After months of detailed planning, collaboration, and execution, we’ve successfully integrated spectral flow cytometry at our KCAS Bio sites in Philadelphia, PA, USA; Lyon, France; and Crux Biolabs, our…

Clinical sample kitting plays a vital role in drug development projects. It requires meticulous attention to detail and the experience necessary to ensure that each kit is crafted according to precise specifications. A well-organized clinical kit can be the difference between smooth operations and costly delays. At KCAS Bio, we…

KCAS Bio is excited to announce our participation in several premier conferences throughout the United States this fall. These events bring together experts, innovators, and leaders in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and clinical research to exchange insights, explore the latest technologies, and drive the future of scientific discovery. As a trusted provider…
