Functional Assays Service Based on Flow Cytometry Systems

STEMart provides specialized Functional Assays services using state-of-the-art flow cytometry systems. Our advanced instruments enable the detailed analysis of cellular functions, such as cytotoxicity, activation, and cytokine production. These assays are essential for understanding immune responses, drug effects, and cellular behavior. Flow cytometry is a critical technology in our laboratory, offering precise, high-throughput capabilities for various functional assays.

Flow cytometry systems operate by detecting and quantifying fluorescent signals emitted by labeled cells as they pass through a laser beam. This technology allows for the simultaneous measurement of multiple cellular functions and characteristics, providing comprehensive insights into cellular activities. It is widely applied in immunology, pharmacology, oncology, and other biomedical fields to assess cell function and response to stimuli.

Leveraging our cutting-edge flow cytometry systems, we offer a range of comprehensive Functional Assays services. These services are tailored to meet the unique needs of each research project, ensuring accurate and reliable data for downstream analysis.
