BioAssay Products & Services

Lonza offers a range of biochemical assays, bioassays and cell-based assays that provide a wealth of information relating to your cells; from their state of health to the finest detail of their intracellular signaling mechanisms. These assays can become key tools in your pre-clinical drugdiscovery processes. This includes monitoring the quality of the cells you are using, target identification and validation, compound hit and safety screening, and determining the specific mechanism of action of your compounds.

Cell Health

Achieve outstanding sensitivity for cell proliferation, cytotoxicity, and apoptosis using our easy to use bioluminescent cell health assays.

These assays generate highly reproducible results using a simple method with no separate mixing or centrifugation steps. These assays are suitable for use with cell lines and primary cells, whether adherent or in suspension.

Cell Function

Lonza offers several cell function assays to measure the specific activities of different bone and adipose cell types. These assays will support both primary cells and related cell lines. Adipocytes, MSCs, and ADSCs can have lipid metabolism measured with AdipoRed™ andAdipoLyze™. Bone cells like osteoclasts and osteoblasts, and even differentiated MSCs and ADSCs can have bone remodeling measured with OsteoAssay™, OsteoLyse™, CalciFluor™, and OsteoImage™.
