CUSTOM ASSAY
SERVICES

Flexible, high-quality cell-based assays powered by our proprietary iPSC differentiation platform — from early compound screening to late-stage functional validation.

CUSTOMIZABLE ASSAY
SERVICES WITH HUMAN
iPSC-DERIVED CELLS

Ricoh Biosciences' custom assay services give you cell-based assays built on our proprietary iPSC differentiation platform — spanning neurons, glial cells, muscle, and beyond.

Whether you're screening compounds, validating disease phenotypes, or building the functional data your program needs to advance, our assay development services support drug discovery and translational research at every stage of your pipeline.

Why Use Our Custom Assay Services?

Outsourcing assay development can accelerate your drug discovery or disease modeling pipeline. Our team handles assay optimization, execution, and analysis — freeing up your in-house scientists while ensuring consistent, publication-ready results.

01

Disease Modeling with Patient-Derived iPSCs

Patient-derived iPSC models capture genotype-specific disease biology, giving you translational data to de-risk go/no-go decisions before costly downstream studies.

02

Validated, iPSC-Derived Differentiated Cells

Powered by our proprietary Quick-Tissue™ platform, differentiated cell types are ready in as little as 1 week with lot-to-lot consistency you can build on.

03

Custom Tailored Assay Development

Assays are built around your specific target, modality, and endpoints, so you get decision-quality data built directly for your program.

04

Highly Experienced Scientific Team

Our team of scientists manage execution, analysis, troubleshooting, and support directly, extending your team's capacity.

Our Cell-Based
Assay Capabilities

We specialize in custom assays using differentiated human iPSC-derived cells. Our services fall into two main categories:

Phenotypic Assays

Assays designed to assess cell identity, morphology, and disease-relevant traits.

  • High-content imaging and analysis
  • Quantitative gene or protein analysis (e.g., qPCR, ELISA)
  • Immunocytochemistry (ICC)
  • Custom marker panels

Functional Assays

Assays designed to assess cell behavior and how they respond to drugs, stress, or stimuli.

  • Electrophysiology (MEA) assays
  • Calcium oscillation imaging
  • Cytokine profiling
  • Metabolic assays
  • Neurotransmitter release
  • Custom functional endpoints

Assay Development
Process

Our custom assay development services are built to streamline your path from idea to data. Every project is designed in close collaboration with your team.

01
Project Scoping We define the goals, cell types, readouts, and format.
02
Assay Design Our team develops or adapts protocols around your objectives.
03
Execution We perform the assay(s) in-house.
04
Data Analysis You receive complete results with QC, stats, and visualizations.
05
Support Follow-up consultations to review results and next steps.
