In drug development, there is a growing demand for ultrasensitive bioanalytical platforms and kits, especially in disciplines like neuroscience, where analytes are often present at very low concentrations in peripheral circulation. KCAS Bio addresses this demand by offering a spectrum of technologies, from dedicated platforms to ultra-sensitive kits on conventional…
In the evolving landscape of drug development, biomarkers are increasingly vital in driving decisions across preclinical and clinical studies. From patient stratification and efficacy monitoring to safety assessments and pharmacodynamic evaluations, biomarkers are critical tools for reducing development timelines and increasing the likelihood of regulatory success. But with so many…

In a bioanalytical CRO, method development is a critical step to ensure reliable and meaningful data that meets the client’s requirements. At our KCAS Bio – Lyon site, our method development team specializes in designing and optimizing ligand-binding assay (LBA) methods tailored to our clients’ specific objectives. While…
In the process of drug discovery, an IC₅₀ assay serves as a pivotal component in the development of cutting-edge therapeutics. An effective assay can quantify the potency of compounds, enable side-by-side comparisons with competing compounds, and track how a compound performs over time. Quantifying compound inhibition also assists with pre-clinical…
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…
