Colony Forming Cell (CFC) Assay Services

Predict neutropenia, severe anemia, or thrombocytopenia at the preclinical drug development stage.

Discovery’s scientists take a collaborative approach, designing studies tailored to ensure meaningful, predictive data on the hematotoxicity potential of your specific drug candidates.

We have decades of experience performing these assays, so you can trust our cell culture proficiency and lineage-specific colony scoring accuracy. CFC assay data can support your IND submission and these assays are often required by regulatory agencies. CFC assays are highly effective in predicting toxicity at the bone marrow hematopoietic progenitor cell level and can be utilized to evaluate drug efficacy against blood cancer progenitor cells.
