Translational research converts knowledge about cellular function and physiological mechanisms into novel means to prevent and treat disease. Applying experimental results from cell or animal models to human patients requires a reasoned setup that accounts for both homologies and differences between species.

The development strategy leading to the LUNARIS™ cytokine panels was to target a deep understanding of general biological mechanisms while maximizing transferability of results from model to human. To that end, the corresponding LUNARIS™ Kits were also designed to merge lot-to-lot consistency, assay stability, and results reproducibility in a simple and robust method for cytokine detection in mouse and human.
