Biomarker Discovery Accelerated - Limited time offers available

Biomarker discovery doesn’t have to be slow or uncertain.

From early-stage screening to translational research, scientists are under pressure to deliver faster, more reproducible results, without compromising data quality. Fragmented workflows, manual steps, and inconsistent assay performance can slow progress and introduce variability.
 
That’s why Abcam and Molecular Devices have partnered to simplify biomarker discovery. Our integrated solutions—combining validated ELISA and metabolism assay kits with automation-ready plate readers and analysis software—streamline every step of the workflow, from quantification to functional analysis.
 
Whether you're working in oncology, immunology, or cell and gene therapy, our tools are designed to deliver trusted results with unmatched sensitivity, speed, and reproducibility, so you can confidently move from discovery to decision.

Customer Breakthrough

Dr. Janine Erler at the university of Copenhagen

A breakthrough in metastasis research

The Biotech Research & Innovation Centre (BRIC) at the University of Copenhagen is using the SpectraMax® Paradigm reader and ScanLater™ Western Blot Detection System to uncover how the tumor microenvironment drives cancer progression.

Learn how modular, multi-mode detection is helping them quantify protein expression in complex systems—and how it could help you too.

 

A partnership that redefined antibody development

At the National Cancer Institute, Dr. Houssein Abdul Sater partnered with Abcam to develop a PD-L1 antibody panel that could detect subtle differences in immune checkpoint expression.

This collaboration helped accelerate biomarker discovery in tumor microenvironments—laying the groundwork for more precise immunotherapy research.
