Cell based assays
At Swiss BioQuant (SBQ), we are equipped to support a wide range of cell-based assays in our bioanalytical regulated lab. These assays are essential for evaluating the biological activity of compounds, understanding cellular mechanisms, and assessing the safety and efficacy of new drugs, as well they are crucial for the identification of neutralizing antibodies. Here are some key applications:
- Drug Potency and Efficacy: Cell-based assays can measure the potency and efficacy of drug candidates by evaluating their effects on cell viability, proliferation, and function. This helps in determining the optimal dosage and therapeutic potential of the drug.
- Toxicity Testing: Cell-based assays are used to assess the cytotoxicity of compounds, helping to identify potential adverse effects on cells. This is important for ensuring the safety of new drugs before they proceed to clinical trials.
- Biomarker Identification and Validation: By analyzing cellular responses, cell-based assays can identify and validate biomarkers that are indicative of disease states or therapeutic responses. This aids in the development of diagnostic tools and personalized medicine approaches.
- Immunogenicity Testing: Cell-based assays can be used to identify the neutralizing potential of anti-drugs antibodies (NAB assays).
