Cell Biology Services

Discovery Life Sciences combines deep cell biology expertise with advanced technologies to deliver high-resolution biospecimen characterization and functional analysis that accelerates research in immunology, oncology, regenerative medicine, and drug development. Our cell biology service laboratories offer flow cytometry, single-cell genomics, spatial biology, live-cell imaging, cytokine profiling, colony-forming cell assays, and more—providing the actionable insights needed to advance your scientific goals with precision and confidence.

Custom Biospecimen Processing & Characterization Services

With decades of experience, we specialize in custom biospecimen procurement, processing, and characterization—fueling one of the world’s largest commercial biorepositories. By building cohorts tailored to your study needs, we deliver critical cellular insights that accelerate research, enable smarter development decisions, and advance precision medicine.

Primary Human Cell Culture Services

We offer robust cell culture services built on standardized protocols and optimized methods—ranging from simple primary cultures to complex tumoroids. Our primary human cell culture services foster a deeper understanding of growth characteristics, phenotypic changes, cytotoxicity, immune cell proliferation, expansion, differentiation, and drug response to accelerate therapy development.

Cytokine Analysis Services

Our comprehensive cytokine analysis services quantify immune responses and characterize cellular activity across a wide range of sample types. Using optimized, high-sensitivity platforms and multiplex technologies, our experts deliver accurate, reproducible data to support immunology research, biomarker discovery, drug development, and patient stratification.

Flow Cytometry & Cell Sorting Services

Advanced flow cytometry and cell sorting with customizable panels enable detailed immunophenotyping of DTCs, PBMCs, BMMCs, and other viable specimen types, as well as functional profiling through assays for proliferation, apoptosis, cell cycle analysis, cytotoxicity, and intracellular cytokine staining.

Live-Cell Imaging and Analysis Services

Observe what your cells are doing—and when they’re doing it. Our live-cell imaging services capture long-term time-lapsed data to reveal biologically relevant kinetic behavior and function of your cells, providing deeper insights than single endpoint metrics for drug response, cell growth, cell health, and other cellular studies.

Single Cell Genomics Services

With stringent quality control standards and as a certified 10x Genomics provider, our cell biology lab offers top-tier single-cell gene expression analysis, and immune repertoire profiling on flash-frozen tissues, viable cells, and FFPE using the 10X Chromium platform.

Spatial Biology Services

As a certified 10x Genomics Visium and Xenium service provider, we deliver transcriptomics at single cell and subcellular resolutions within the morphological context of FFPE tissues. Our optimized tissue preparation preserves spatial integrity, enabling discovery of novel biomarkers, deeper understanding of disease complexity, spatial organization of cell atlases, and spatiotemporal gene expression patterns.

Hematopoietic Colony-Forming Cells Assay Services

With decades of experience, our cell biologists deliver an array of fit-for-purpose hematopoietic colony-forming cell (CFC) assay services to predict off-target toxicity to hematopoietic progenitor cells—supporting risk assessment for neutropenia, anemia, and thrombocytopenia in drug development. Using primary cells and lineage-specific growth factors, our experts more accurately replicate in vivo hematopoiesis than traditional cell line-based models.

Blood Cell-Based Assay Services

Leverage Discovery’s deep expertise in primary blood cell biology to evaluate drug efficacy and assess potential adverse impacts. Our comprehensive, customizable blood cell-based assays span a wide range of therapeutic classes, including small molecules, monoclonal antibodies, bispecific antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), oligonucleotide-based therapies, CAR-T cells, and more.
