Marlborough, Mass.-based Akoya Biosciences was awarded CLIA certification for its Advanced Biopharma Solutions lab, the company said in a Nov. 30 news release.
The lab specializes in spatial biology, which involves mapping interactions between tumor cells and immune cells across a tumor tissue section, according to the report.
CLIA certification affirms that Akoya's lab meets high quality standards and guidelines for accuracy, precision, specificity, sensitivity and reproducibility. With the certification, the lab can now support clinical trial studies in later stages than it could previously.
