>100 off the shelf diagnostic type assays
available
Roche Cobas Mira Plus analyser
Techniques Currently Offered
Flow Cytometry
Veeda CR’s 4-colour laser analyser allows
sophisticated multiple marker analysis of
individual cell subsets. The Laboratories
also have experience of FACS use in complex
pharmacodynamic protocols, involving
in-vitro and in-vivo cell stimulation.
Method Validation
The analytical methods are validated in
accordance with current regulatory opinion.
NB For Biomarker assays the validation
parameters may differ depending on the exact
requirements of the clinical
study.
Quality and Reporting
Analysis and validations are performed in
accordance with Veeda CR standard operating
procedures, which are based on the latest
regulatory guidance documents. The systems
and processes are designed to be acceptable
