Custom TruCytes® Biomarker Controls
Precision-engineered cell mimics built to your exact specifications—for rare indications, novel targets, and complex multi-biomarker panels.
Designing and Building Your Custom TruCytes®
Our commercial and R&D teams work alongside your scientists under a structured project management framework delivering your Custom TruCyte on time, on budget, and to a defined quality standard.
With more than 100 custom mimic designs completed, our process is proven. Expect maximum efficiency through design and build, and optimal quality at delivery.
Evaluation
Begin with a no-cost consultation with our Business Development Executive and Field Application Scientists. We guide you through a structured design process to define the precise specifications, functionality, and performance targets for your ideal TruCyte.
Feasibility & Customization
Once you commit to proceed, our R&D team assesses feasibility, maps decision-gating milestones, and delivers objective data along with a complete risk assessment, cost estimate, and timeline for development. You'll enter the Scale-Up phase fully prepared.
Scale-Up & Validation
Rigorous verification and validation processes establish the foundation for successful adoption. Dedicated Field Application Support ensures a smooth, confident transition to large-scale production.
Production
Production scales as your needs grow. Lot sizes are adjusted to match demand, inventory replenishment intervals are scheduled in advance, and ongoing training and on-site support remain available throughout your deployment.
Customizable Controls for Unmatched Precision Across Assays
Custom TruCytes® Biomarker Controls deliver consistency, accuracy, and scalability tailored to your specific research workflow. Each control can be configured across a range of parameters.
Surface Biomarkers
Configure single or multiple surface biomarkers for precise antigen detection and quantification.
Tailored Fluorescence
Achieve highly stable, reproducible signal detection at intensities previously out of reach with biological samples.
Viability Compatibility
Integrate seamlessly with DNA- and amine-based viability reagents used in standard laboratory protocols.
Unparalleled Customization. Reliable Results Across Every Therapy Area.
Slingshot Biosciences' patented technology accelerates discovery and clinical workflows. Our precision-engineered TruCyte™ biomarker cell mimics replicate specific cellular phenotypes for advanced research, diagnostic, and therapeutic applications.
Single or Multiple Proteins
Incorporate one or more rare or targeted biomarkers on a single TruCyte to replicate complex cellular phenotypes.
Distinct Populations
Model heterogeneous cell environments by defining distinct populations within a sample.
Variable Expression Levels
Fine-tune biomarker expression to reflect high, low, or intermediate intensities, enabling more accurate and nuanced assay development.
Surface & Intracellular Biomarkers
Include both surface and intracellular markers to mimic dynamic cellular pathways with greater biological fidelity.
Rare or Novel Proteins
Access non-commercial proteins through our expertise in isolation and incorporation, ensuring even the most niche biomarkers are within reach.
Size and Morphology Control
Select TruCyte dimensions and morphology to match specific cell types lymphocytes, monocytes, granulocytes, and more.
