In Episode 88 of The Weekly Bioanalysis, hosts Dominic Warrino and John Perkins present a special WRIB 2025 recap featuring several KCAS Bio scientists who share firsthand insights from their presentations at the major bioanalytical conference. Dave Ambrose highlights KCAS Bio’s global harmonization of spectral flow cytometry instruments across sites in the U.S., France, and Australia, showcasing the industry’s first off-the-shelf spectral flow panel with impressively tight inter-site CVs. Jessica Pham discusses her work on a VAMS-based PK assay for an anti-malarial monoclonal antibody, designed to enable microsampling in remote regions with high temperature stability. Bryan Parmentier presents a novel method for overcoming matrix effects in cisplatin assays by adding exogenous hemoglobin, a breakthrough inspired by clinical anemia observations. The episode concludes with a group discussion about the implications of new biomarker guidance from the FDA and ICH M10, sparking debate on validation standards, regulatory interpretations, and industry alignment.

During episode 86 of KCAS Bio's "The Weekly Bioanalysis" podcast, our hosts Dom and John are joined by Dr Cheikh Kane, the Vice President of Biopharma Services at KCAS Bio, to discuss immunogenicity. They first define Immunogenicity; what it is and why it is tested, as well as the standard approach for ADA testing before answering the question of "What is a 'Lean' anti-drug antibody (ADA) approach, and when should it be employed?". Dr Kane brings his decades of experience and biopharmaceutical expertise to a very impressive conversation that showcases the many options involved in ADA testing. This is one you won't want to miss!
