The name change reflects the company's growth beyond interferons to a full range of assay-related products and services. For over two decades PBL, based in Piscataway, NJ, has grown its reputation as a trusted partner by working hand in hand with researchers to help solve their most difficult problems.

"Everything we do is focused one way or another on assays. As we see it, PBL has three basic areas of offerings: Proteins, ELISAs, and Services. We will maintain these three focus areas and work within each to broaden assay offerings to our customers," said Robert Pestka, CEO of PBL Assay Science. "In doing this we have not abandoned our core competency in interferon: we have simply recognized that our research, our products, and our ser­vices have moved beyond interferon into other cytokines, biomarkers, multiplexes, and biological materials."

What scientific advancements are expected with the name change and knowledge growth?

"We've ex­panded our product offerings to include new assay technolo­gies that the Quansys Q-plex™, Forte Octet®, and Singulex Erenna® platforms encompass. And by growing the Product R&D and Assay Services group by several staff members this year, we have further bolstered our product development and assay ser­vice capabilities," Pestka added.

A new logo is now being seen at trade-shows, on business cards and on other promotional materials as Assay Science is the messaging to both existing and future cus­tomers. The goal is to grow and expand the company's reputation as a provider of high-level Assay Science to researchers around the world.
