Biomarker Assay Service
We are pleased to announce that our Biomarker Assay Service is accepting samples for assaying Biomarkers of Stress and Health. We are offering this assay service with the mission to stimulate stress research by making available our facilities and expertise to the research community.
Our biopsychological laboratory on the former AEG campus “auf AEG” is equipped with up-to-date instruments including automated liquid handling / pipetting system (Tecan FLUENT) allowing high precision and reproducibility.
Along our standard assays of salivary cortisol and alpha-amylase, we are happy to quote an individual price for a large number of hormones, cytokines, and other molecules in saliva, plasma, serum, as well as from dried blood spots (DBS).
