Excellent assay performance of THUNDER TR-FRET cell-based cytokine assays performed on the PHERAstar FSX

Cytokines are important regulators of cell proliferation, differentiation, and immune response1. Since their roles are not completely understood yet, both basic and drug discovery research require accurate cytokine quantification methods. THUNDER™ Biomarker Assays are designed to enable the simple, rapid, sensitive, and robust quantification of biomarkers in cell supernatants. In this application note, BMG LABTECH describes the validation of the PHERAstar FSX multi-mode microplate reader for measuring a panel of five THUNDER™ human cytokine assays.
