Zellkraftwerk/Canopy Biosciences: Immune Profiling Platform continues to grow

The German-American company Zellkraftwerk / Canopy Biosciences merged with another partner in the USA at the end of 2019 and announced the acquisition of Core Diagnostics. The company is one of the leading CLIA-certified providers of biomarker analysis services for biopharmaceutical research.

dr Jan Detmers, Managing Director of Zellkraftwerk GmbH says: "By combining multi-omic technologies such as ChipCytometry, NanoString and RareSequencing, we create a unique and powerful platform for immune profiling of cells and tissues. Thanks to the merger with Core Diagnostics, we are now addressing more and more customers from the clinical area in addition to the preclinical and translational areas.”

With the acquisition of Core Diagnostics, Zellkraftwerk and Canopy Biosciences can now offer their services in the field of highly parametric cell and tissue analysis under the highly regulated CLIA conditions worldwide.

1. Balachandran, CEO of Core Diagnostics commented:

"Through this cooperation, it is possible to provide customers with holistic support and to add individual services, so that we can meet the respective goals of the client. With Zellkraftwerk and Canopy we have found partners with whom we can expand our portfolio and serve our customers better. "

In addition to NanoString transcription proliferation, Core Diagnostics also offers histopathology services including immunohistochemistry (IHC) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH).
