Latest Announcements by Industry Leaders

  • In April 2025, Danielle Callahan, director of global product management at Proteintech, stated that during the simultaneous detection of different proteins using multiplex assays like flow cytometry or mass spectrometry, more than one epitope- that is, multiple antibodies- must be considered. To prevent interference, it is crucial to know the epitopes. He further stated that clearer and more accurate data can be obtained by selecting antibodies that target non-overlapping epitopes, which confirms that each antibody binds specifically to its target.
  • In February 2025, Dr. Richard Cuthbert, global commercialization product manager at Bio-Rad, stated that flow cytometry is a vital tool in drug discovery due to its versatility. Not long ago, the analysis of 10 parameters was challenging, and manually loading 5 mL tubes one after another was the standard. Now, with the help of instruments like ZE5 Cell AnalyzerTM 30, parameters analysis with full automation and processing of 384 samples within an hour is possible.
