Flow Cytometry For The Pharmaceutical Industry In A Central Lab – Clinical Trials Setting: Specific Challenges And Solutions

With the exception of some simple generic assays (such as lymphocyte T/B/NK Immunophenotyping, CD4 counting or progenitor counting) the implementation of pharma-client tailored flow cytometry assays within a multisite, multiplatform environment (central lab / clinical trials setting) in global longitudinal studies involves specific challenges that necessitate special processes and quality control procedures. We already addressed these well before flow cytometric assays became generally adopted in the clinical trials field.
