Disease-relevant screening assays
tailored to your needs
Bringing together human iPSC technology, disease knowledge and automation
Ncardia’s expertise and in-house screening capabilities facilitate the efficient generation and application of relevant in vitro models at any stage of your discovery pipeline. Our assays are designed to best mimic your disease of interest and increase confidence in Go/No Go decisions.
Benefits of Ncardia's Custom Screening Services
Specific to your Research Question
Study the phenotype and readout
of your interest
Developed by Proven Experts
Enhance robustness and reproducibility
Translational Results
Testing on relevant
human biology
Patient-derived, genome-edited and environmentally induced disease models
Work with your own iPSC lines, our proprietary lines, or leverage our sourcing and reprogramming services.
If required, you can benefit from highly efficient genome editing for your iPSC line of choice with our proprietary STAR CRISPR technology.
To maximize reproducibility, cells are differentiated at the scale and volume you need with a rigorously characterized for identity and functionality.
Innovate, de-risk and enhance translational success
Our expertise in iPSC technology and profound understanding of its applications enable our team to develop everything from pilot and validation studies to full screening campaigns.
We offer a multitude of cell models, technologies and readouts that can be combined and applied to any therapeutic modality.
- Monoculture, co-culture and triculture models
- 2D or 3D formats
- Low to high throughput
- Multiplexing
Achieve a high-throughput format with robust and reproducible results
Integrating iPSC-based assays in large screening campaigns doesn't have to be a challenge anymore.
Our team has the capabilities and expertise to miniaturize - reducing costs - and automate relevant cell-based assays while keeping a strong focus on delivering high-quality and reproducible data.
