Accelerating clinical flow cytometry studies using qualified, modular and transferrable immunophenotyping assays

Eurofins Bioanalytical Services BZ site pagePart 1 of our webinar series on evolving and improving bioanalytical and biomarker analysis to support clinical trials

The development and validation of biomarker assays in general and cell-based flow cytometry assays in particular is driven by the ‘fit for purpose’ approach. We describe a modular, fit for purpose set of flow cytometry immunophenotyping panels, with wide applications in clinical research, that benefit from reduced development time, thereby reducing cost and accelerating projects. The core assays are designed as a base set of tests that can be run as-is for exploratory end points, further validated for higher importance readouts, or readily modified to include additional markers for customized studies.

What will you learn?

  • The benefits of a modular approach to assembling immunophenotyping assays
  • Fit for purpose flow cytometry assay validation
  • Effective transfer of assays to additional analytical sites

Who may this interest?

  • Translational scientists
  • Biomarker scientists
  • Procurement managers
  • Assay development scientists
