The RNAScope® technology from Advanced Cell Diagnostics (ACD) is a novel in situ hybridization (ISH) assay used for the detection of target RNA transcripts. By using this assay, multiple gene targets can be visualized while maintaining tissue architecture. Moreover, multiplex assays that include multiple gene and protein targets can be developed. With multiple laboratory locations and a CAP-accredited CLIA-certified site, we provide end-to-end solutions, including assay design, automated staining protocol development on Leica Bond RX and image analysis services.
Tissue cross reactivity (TCR) testing is in important screening method used in drug development, whereby biological therapies (e.g. monoclonal antibodies) are evaluated for specific and non-specific binding in different tissue types. This is important to ensure the therapeutic candidate binds to the target epitope and minimize drug-related toxicity. At Invicro, we offer non-GLP immunohistochemistry-based TCR testing services, including assay development and validation, along with interpretation and reporting required by the FDA, EMA, and other federal agencies that handle new drug applications.
Slide digitization is a critical step in image curation, organization, and qualitative and quantitative image analysis applications, including pathologist interpretation and IHC protein expression analysis.

Companion and complimentary diagnostics are precision medicine tools used to stratify patients and predict likelihood of a favorable response based on the expression of specific biomarkers. These tests are developed in parallel for a new drug during clinical trials. To commercialize a product, sponsors work with contract research organizations (CRO) and in vitro (IVD) diagnostic providers. While this process is challenging, our team partners with sponsors to develop and deploy a strategy that supports successful diagnostic product commercialization.
In drug discovery research, it is critical to conduct ADME/DMPK studies to evaluate the biological activity of a drug prior to advancing to clinical trials. By using a combination of in vitro assays and in vivo imaging, Invicro can evaluate how compounds behave in biological systems and understand toxicology, safety and efficacy. These solutions help with making go/no-go decisions on whether a drug should be advanced as a candidate and support with Investigational New Drug (IND) filings with regulatory agencies. Invicro provides in vitro and in vivo ADME/DMPK studies to support your drug discovery and development needs.
In vitro assays play an important role in understanding the key pillars of drug survival at the early stages of development.
