Vaccines and Biologics Testing

Vaccines & Biologics Lab

Our vaccines and biologics lab offers custom assay development, clinical testing and submission support services, including:

  • Antigen detection/quantitative RT-PCR/sequencing
  • Multiplex immunoassays/neutralization procedures
  • Cell-mediated immunity/functional assays

Vaccines and Biologics Lab Testing Services

PPD is a leader in comprehensive development and testing services of vaccines and biologics. We support submissions for new and modified vaccines as well as a wide range of other medicinal products, including blood components and recombinant therapeutic proteins.

Consolidating your vaccines and biologics development and testing with PPD means streamlined logistics, greater control of samples, lower specimen volumes, decreased project costs and a faster development process than decentralizing the work. From assay development to clinical testing and approval, we offer the best technology and expertise available for fast and complete vaccines and biologics development.

Wide Variety of Vaccines and Biologics Assays

The vaccines and biologics lab has completed more than 200 protocols at 1,700 sites worldwide. Our clients can take advantage of our wide variety of FDA-accepted assays, potentially shortening the assay development and approval process. We also work with our clients to develop new and effective assays. This collaboration can significantly accelerate the development process from discovery to post-approval.
