Laboratory Testing: Laboratory tests check a sample of your blood, urine, or body tissues. A technician or your doctor analyzes the test samples to see if your results fall within the normal range. The tests use a range because what is normal differs from person to person. Depending on the test, the presence, absence, or amount of an analyte may mean you do have a particular condition or it may mean that you do not have the particular condition.
Cell-based assays are more biologically relevant than biochemical assays yet significantly more scalable than in vivo experiments. However, care must be taken in sample preparation to e...
Over the years high throughput screening has evolved from monolithic static systems to modular more dynamic platforms. At NCATS the approach taken has been to optimize our existing lega...
