Commercial Biomarker Applications
and Assays

We offer the complete suite of MSD singleplexed and multiplex immunoassays to quantitate biomarkers to support your drug discovery, nonclinical, and clinical validation needs. With no lead times, we can develop and validate your assay or samples tested immediately following RUO or GLP.

The Sword Difference

We can analyze your nonclinical or clinical samples for specific biomarkers using the existing MSD singleplex or multiplex panels.
Alternatively, using the MSD platform and reagents, we can develop customized assays specific to your projects unique needs.
