ACEL offers affordable contract research for complex human and animal cell studies that require significant resources and expertise. We provide end-to-end support, encompassing research planning, method development, and data preparation.
Why should you consider our cell-based assay contract services?
Problems that arise when starting cell-based assays
| Budget | Equipment 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 skills | Specialized technical skills and knowledge are required, such as cell culture and sample evaluation methods. |
| Time | Procurement 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.
By performing these research studies with us, you can obtain these study results with a “low budget”
and within a “short time frame“, allowing you to accelerate your R&D process and reduce your cost!
If you are considering setting up cell-based assays, or are still undecided,
why not engage our contract service?
Here are some of the reasons you may wish to engage us:
- You would like to evaluate the efficacy and effects of substances and materials on cells
- You lack the capacity to perform additional experiments during busy periods
- You would like to perform pilot studies to reduce the risk of the project
