Flow Cytometry

High-quality flow cytometry services for clinical trials—cell characterization, immunophenotyping, and biomarker analysis you can trust.

Integrated Expertise. Proven Results.

With our Centers of Excellence and global lab network, we deliver scalable, high-quality solutions backed by expert scientific & regulatory support.

One Global Network, Total Study Support

With synchronized platforms and expert teams across three continents, we deliver scalable, end‑to‑end support for biomarker and immunology programs worldwide. Our harmonized platforms ensure consistent panel performance, reproducible data, and seamless study execution regardless of testing location.

We specialize in high‑complexity immunology assays, custom panel development, spectral flow, and PBMC processing.

Our platforms include:

  • Agilent NovoCyte Quanteon, 4-laser, 25-color

  • BD FACSCanto II Flow Cytometer, 3-laser, 8-color

  • BD FACSymphony A5, Spectrally enabled, 5-laser, 48-color
