- Discover Cross-Reactive Complement ELISA for NHP Research
Bridging Human and NHP Complement Research. At Hycult Biotech, we understand the importance of testing therapeutic agents on non-human primates (NHP) samples in order to get approval to enter clinical phases. That is why we have committed to the following initiative: Testing our existing complement ELISA assays for NHP research. Why Non Human Primate Samples… Read more: Discover Cross-Reactive Complement ELISA for NHP Research - New Human Complement Pathway AssaysWe are very proud of our newly developed human classical and alternative complement pathway assays. They are produced in response to a growing demand for quantitative investigation of complement inhibitors or regulators at lower sample dilutions. This development aims to address the issue of false negative results, enabling more accurate and reliable analysis of complement… Read more: New Human Complement Pathway Assays
- Navigating the pitfalls in complement analysisOur colleague Erik Toonen shared his experience on how to analyze complement at the Complement-based Drug Development Summit in Boston in September 11-13th, 2023. He showed valuable insights on analyzing complements. For accurate complement analysis, it is important that not only the correct technique is used but also that pre-analytical sample handling is performed in… Read more: Navigating the pitfalls in complement analysis
