Regulated Services for Flow Cytometry
Altasciences has the expertise to develop and validate flow cytometry methods under GCP and GCLP, ensuring that requirements for regulated studies are met throughout the development process, from preclinical to clinical; from primary endpoint studies to assays to support drug potency for product characterization purposes.
Dedicated flow cytometry core: immunophenotyping of leukocyte lineages and subsets, functional profiling and cell enumeration.
Cell Lineage and Phenotyping
- T cell subsets, thymocytes, B cells, plasma cells, NK cells, monocytes, dendritic cells, granulocytes, stem cells, platelets
- Activation Markers
- Intracellular cytokine stains
- NK cell killing assay (non-radioactive)
- Proliferation
- Reticulated Platelet Analysis
Enumeration
