Contract Research and Development

Your Science, Our Expertise

Unparalleled expertise in CLARITY Tissue Clearing and 3D IHC

ClearLight Biotechnologies Capabilities

As a contract research and development partner we apply our expertise and intellectual property in CLARITY Tissue Clearing, 3D Immunohistochemistry, and Tru3D image analysis to your specific research needs. We are not limited to the types of tissues and optimized antibodies we’ve worked with in the past. Our work involves imaging and analysis for the tissue microenvironment at the cellular and subcellular levels. We are able to work with larger tissue sizes as compared to FFPE.

We Empower Scientists

Confocal imaging is our standard; however, depending on the project we may employ several fields of view, a couple of regions of interest, or whole sample imaging. We provide all of the raw data (upon request) and a 3D video of the imaged samples.  We provide all of the raw data and produce a 3D video showing the entire tissue depth along with relevant target areas. You see the entire multiplex or your specific area of interest in Tru3D as well as the more familiar 2D z-stack. We can provide individual channels as well as the merged view. Collaboration and our capability empowers the scientists who work with us.

Who We Work With

Researchers and scientists who typically work with ClearLight Biotechnologies are involved in pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and academic environments in the United States and around the world.

The organizations we work with:

  • Perform research and often don’t have the capability in-house to perform the services we provide.
  • Seek outside expertise and perspective, especially with CLARITY tissue clearing and 3D Immunohistochemistry
  • Are already operating at capacity and seek a competent contract research and development partner to maintain their workflow pipeline.

ClearLight Biotechnologies provides contract research and development services to pharmaceutical companies who seek to reduce the cost and failure rates of potential drug candidates.

Focus Areas of Research

The organizations we work with vary widely but each organization shares a couple of common interests:

  • They are exploring the efficacy of intended therapies to treat diseases and disorders.
  • They seek to reduce the cost and failure rates for potential drug candidates.
Seeing Ahead with ClearLight Contract Research and Development Services for Pharmaceutical Companies

Why a Pilot May be in Your Future

We are flexible in our approach, but a recurring theme has emerged in the work we’ve engaged: namely, the need for an initial pilot study. Aside from determining the pure feasibility and compatibility of the CLARITY technology. A pilot study provides insight to how ClearLight can best benefit your research project and experiments.

Scientific Reconnaissance

Much of the work we’ll do together isn’t as straightforward as constructing a building or going on a guided vacation tour. Sure, we employ blueprints of sorts, and science and scientists guide our journey. But, not only are the answers not already written, chances are, your very question(s) will evolve as you become more informed.

In military operations, reconnaissance missions are explorations outside an area occupied by friendly forces with the purpose of gaining information about natural features and other activities. Science needs reconnaissance missions, too. In many cases, a pilot study is an economical and prudent path forward to inform the researcher about the tissue or tumor microenvironment and what is happening there. The information gathered can further inform subsequent projects.

Contract Research and Development FAQs

Services

ClearLight Biotechnologies’ technology could be easily applied to most biological areas that rely on 2D thin-section analysis of a tissue. Bring us your burning question even if it is outside the area of oncology or neuroscience.

No. ClearLight Biotechnologies provides study-related services to sponsors of drug research programs early in the drug development cycle. Our contract research and development services are for Research Use Only (RUO).
