Cell based assay refer to a technique of analysis of living cell on the basis of different parameters. Cell based assays are used to measure virtually of cellular or biochemical functions. In cell based assays, functional cells are used as diagnostic tools in research for new drugs. Cell based assays are used by pharmaceutical companies, academic research institutes, biotechnology companies, government institutions, contract research organizations and others. Cell based assays help to measure cell proliferations, motility, toxicity, production of a measurable product and morphology in diagnostics and drug discovery. Cell based assays facilitate research in the area of stem cells, cancer, immunology and others. On the basis of application, cell based assay market can be classified into drug discovery, predictive toxicology, basic research, ADME studies and others.
