Flow cytometry is a powerful technology with a wide variety of applications in pharmaceutical development.

FlowMetric testing and algorithms insure that the maximum amount of information from each sample is returned to our customers to guide them in their studies.  FlowMetric customers are provided the advanced flow cytometry services (FCS) traditionally confined to R&D centers with a customer-centric focus.

FlowMetric can provide you:

Intracellular cytokines
Cell surface markers/biomarkers
Cell signaling proteins
Phosphoproteins
Cellular-antibody binding assays
Multiplexed bead assays
Screening and optimization of drug candidates
Potency assays
Pharmacokinetics
Neutralizing antibodies
Antigen-specific T cell multimer analysis

FlowMetric uses BD FACSAria III cell sorter and BD FACSDiva™ software.

We can work with a variety of cell types and fresh tissues, including whole and fixed blood, separated PBMCs, serum, bone marrow, biopsy specimens and cell lines. We have facilities for cell culture, preparation and storage of cell banks.

FlowMetric is one of the very few lab service companies in the country led by experts in flow cytometry, who examine biologic drugs’ effect on the immune system.  Flow cytometry examines microscopic surface and intracellular structure.  Through this specialized analysis, FlowMetric is able, for instance, to establish the impact of biologic drugs on the immune system.  Studies can assess how a biologic drug works, its toxicity to the body, the safety of the drug relative to its effects, and cellular interactions.
