Why should you consider our cell-based assay contract services?

Problems that arise when starting cell-based assays

BudgetEquipment needed for these assays can cost several million to several tens of millions of yen to acquire. Labor costs to maintain a team of scientists can range from several million yen annually.
Technical skillsSpecialized technical skills and knowledge are required, such as cell culture and sample evaluation methods.
TimeProcurement and acquisition of such equipment, staff and training can take a long time.

These are some of the many hurdles that need to be overcome to start working

on these cell-based assays if it’s done in-house.
