Xcell NGS System for Cell-Based Assays

Xcell Biosciences said this week that the company will unveil its Avatar system at the Molecular Medicine Tri-Conference next week in San Francisco. The new system enables a new generation of cell-based assays by allowing for complete control of key physiological conditions found in the microenvironments of cells, the company said. It also overcomes the limitation of traditional cell culture to generate results that exhibit the phenotypic, genomic, and proteomic characteristics of the native sample, the company said.
