Assay Development & optimization

Let us help you ensure accuracy and reliability so you can trust your data

assay development and optimization services

With over 30 years of experience in developing and manufacturing ELISAs and ligand binding assays for commercial use, Mercodia has a profound understanding of the analytical procedure lifecycle. To ensure that the assays we develop for drug development are reliable, accurate, and precise, we have product development procedures in place that cover all phases of the lifecycle from design, development, and validation to routine use. Our expertise in product development enables us to smoothly transfer technology from clinical studies to routine use e.g., for downstream treatment monitoring or companion diagnostics.

Ligand binding assays (LBAs) are widely used in drug development and key decisions are taken from the data. It is therefore important that the results are reliable. Our assay development services guarantee accurate and precise measurement of your biomarker of choice for the specific intended use, as well as for PK and PD studies. We deliver integrated bioanalytical solutions for your toughest assay needs.

From-scratch assay development:

Design of antigen binders
Development of assays
Assay validation for the context of use
Assay manufacturing and supply (small and large scale)

Assay optimization (improvement of existing assay):

Assay performance optimizations
- Reduction of interference
- Improvement of precision and reproducibility
- Lowering sample volume
- Shortening assay time
