SBH Science Announces the Implementation of Novel Immunoassay Testing Platform

Natick, MA., August 25, 2014 (Newswire.com) - SBH Sciences, an innovative pre-clinical contract research organization, announced today that they have increased their service offerings through the addition of a newly introduced immunoassay-testing platform, CyPlex™. The new platform was developed by CyVek, Inc, a Connecticut-based biotech firm that is transforming immunoassay testing by delivering an advanced, fully automated, multi-analyte bench top immunoassay system that integrates a microfluidic cartridge with a state-of-the-art analyzer.

Dr. Raphael Nir, President and Chief Science Officer, SBH Sciences, said, “We are excited and proud to be the first CRO to add this innovative analytical tool to our services list. We are routinely using Luminex and it would be interesting to compare the 10-plus year platform with the most advanced multi-analyte bench top immunoassay system.  It is our strategy to offer the most advanced service to the biotech industry. Since we are among the world experts in cytokine research, and are welcoming new collaborative research studies, this new tool will substantially increase our capabilities.”

Bill Dubiel, Chief Commercial Officer, CyVek, Inc., said, “From our first meeting with SBH Sciences, Dr. Nir clearly saw how this new technology might help his business model.  We are excited to work together with SBH Sciences’ CLIA-certified facility to move the CyPlex™ system to the next level of testing.”

CyPlex’s ability to provide “sample-to-answer” test results with precision and accuracy in a sealed disposable device makes it broadly applicable across numerous sectors, including clinical applications and routine life sciences research.
