Assay Development Service

In today's clinical research environment, there is an increasing need for high quality tests to guide decisions. The development of robust and specific assays can be challenging. MSD's Assay Development Service offers a seamless process through which we will develop high-quality assays for your application. We have successfully collaborated with top biotech and pharmaceutical clients to develop assays ranging from immunoassays for secreted proteins and phosphoproteins to assays that measure protein-protein interactions, serology, and immunogenicity. Depending on your need, assays may be developed for basic research purposes or designed to include additional qualification and validation. Our personalized service includes regular progress updates on your project, interactive discussions on project status, and consultative decision making.
