Application highlights
Non-destructive biomarker quantification in organoids
Organoids are powerful—but precious. That’s why researchers are turning to non-destructive assays like the Abcam ALT ELISA kit, paired with the SpectraMax® ABS Plus reader.
This high-throughput solution enables single-wash quantification of liver biomarkers—ideal for toxicity and viability studies in 3D models.
→ Learn moreWestern blot detection—without the darkroom
Traditional blotting is slow and manual. The ScanLater™ Western Blot System transforms your SpectraMax® i3x or Paradigm reader into a blot imager—no film, no chemiluminescence.
With TRF-based detection and SoftMax® Pro, you get sub-picogram sensitivity and stable signals—ideal for multiplexed protein quantification.
Multiplex-ready tools for cancer biomarker discovery
Cancer is complex, and so are its markers. That’s why researchers rely on Abcam antibody panels and ELISA kits to detect key biomarkers like PD-L1, HER2, and ctDNA.
These tools support early detection, treatment monitoring, and multi-omics workflows across oncology research.
Customer Stories

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.
