Cellular Pathway Analysis Assays
Tools that help analyze compound efficacy in a pathway-specific physiological context are essential for drug discovery research. To address this need, Life Technologies offers three technology platforms for endpoint or proximity-oriented pathway analysis for use in high-throughput screening and profiling.
To compile the components needed to make the right cellular assay for your research, use our new Drug Discovery Assay Maker web tool.
