The Immunoassay Biomarker Core Laboratory provides immunoassay determinations of biomarkers in biological fluids, specimen processing and sample logistics for both internal and external collaborators across a variety of therapeutic indications. 

All staff members have current Good Clinical Practice (GCP) certificates and have attended both GLP and GCLP training courses.  The laboratory follows GCP for laboratories principles and participates in Quality Assurance audits.

We can provide help and advice on the selection and performance of immunoassays. Sample requirements and handling for optimal results. 

We can offer a full service to measure samples for you or provide training on using some the instruments thereafter only usage charges applied.
