Cell-Based Assays
In vitro assays for drug discovery: rapidly translate your promising lead into a clinically ready candidate
How do cell-based assays provide predictive and reliable data in drug discovery?
Cell-based assays are essential tools in modern drug discovery and development, providing critical insights into cellular function, toxicity, proliferation, and signaling. By using physiologically relevant in vitro models, including immortalized cell lines, primary human cells, and iPSC-derived 2D and 3D systems we can help you generate predictive, reliable data that guides decision-making and reduce development risk.

FAQs
Q: What are cell-based assays?
A: Cell-based assays are in vitro tests that evaluate biological responses in live cells to measure drug safety, efficacy, or mechanism of action.
Q: What types of cells do you use?
A: We work with immortalized cell lines, primary cells, and iPSC-derived cells, depending on your study goals.
Q: How do 3D models improve predictability?
A: 3D models replicate tissue architecture and cellular interactions better than 2D models, resulting in more physiologically relevant data.
