Custom assay feasibility study

The brief was to establish, with a limited number of experiments, whether a proposed detection approach could give a clear and repeatable signal. The work covered assay set-up, optimisation of the key conditions and a structured comparison against controls. It ended with a written summary of what the approach could and could not show, so the next decision could be made on evidence.
