Slingshot Bio teamed up with Cerba Research to develop cell mimics for Ki-67, a protein vital to cancer research. The solution allowed Cerba to validate assays with greater accuracy and less variability than what was possible with live cells, improving consistency in results.
“Slingshot Biosciences can generate controls that truly mimic biological expression. It’s a game changer for our project … These cell mimics have the potential to fill gaps in rare marker controls needed for assay validation.”

See how we helped Prolocor design the ideal control for their platelet FcγRIIa precision diagnostic test that quantifies FcγRIIa on the surface of platelets to guide clinical decision making.
“Clinicians need better tools to guide decision making on the choice of antiplatelet therapy in coronary artery disease patients, particularly after coronary stenting. The Prolocor pFCG® test will be an important asset as we tailor antiplatelet therapies to balance thrombotic and bleeding risk.”

See how we partnered with Fred Hutch CPF QC to engineer custom CD3 T cell mimics with varying percentages of expression of the common CAR transduction marker epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) to validate their CAR T cell flow cytometry assays.
“In our search for reliable controls for cell therapy assays, partnering with Slingshot has been a game-changer. Together, we addressed significant challenges by engineering custom CD3 T-cell mimics.”
