Multiflow® Test

SERVICE INFORMATION

Using multiple biomarkers within a single flow cytometry-based experiment, the MultiFlow® assay can distinguish between clastogenic and aneugenic modes of action and identify potentially misleading positives that might be secondary to cytotoxicity. This assay has considerable utility as a follow-up to positive in vitro results or as a primary screening tool, requiring low amounts of compound to generate fast predictions of mechanism and mode of action.
