Quotient Addresses Subject Biomarker Prescreening for Enrollment
Quotient Bioresearch (Quotient), a provider of early stage and specialist drug development services, has announced an expansion to its molecular biology service offering.
With the increasing demand for pharmacogenomic stratification of subjects prior to clinical trial enrolment, Quotient has established Real-Time PCR to support screening of subjects. Building on their existing Real-Time PCR instrumentation, Quotient has invested in the latest 384-well format, instrument from Life Technologies, the ViiA7™, to support this strategic move.
This service arose from the microbiology group at Quotient (formerly GR Micro), with more than 13 years’ experience in molecular characterization, to support the development of anti-infectives. The integration of microbiology within Quotient’s bioanalytical, biomarker and central lab services in 2007 and subsequent investment has broadened the molecular offering available to customers. Synergy with the chemistry, metabolism and clinical services offered by Quotient further enhances the scientific expertise available to help customers through the regulatory process and bring products to market.
Supported by the latest mass spectrometry and immunochemistry technologies, a full range of microbiology services, central lab services and now high-throughput Real-Time PCR instrumentation, Quotient’s team offers in-depth expertise spanning small molecules, biopharmaceuticals, antimicrobials and molecular biology.

Behind the Buzz: Why Clinical Research Leaders Flock to SCOPE Summit
February 7th 2025In this episode, we meet with Micah Lieberman, Executive Conference Director for SCOPE Summit (Summit for Clinical Ops Executives) at Cambridge Innovation Institute. We will dive deep into the critical role of collaboration within the clinical research ecosystem. How do we bring together diverse stakeholders—sponsors, CROs, clinical trial tech innovators, suppliers, patients, sites, advocacy organizations, investors, and non-profits—to share best practices in trial design, program planning, innovation, and clinical operations? We’ll explore why it’s vital for thought leaders to step beyond their own organizations and learn from others, exchanging ideas that drive advancements in clinical research. Additionally, we’ll discuss the pivotal role of scientific conferences like SCOPE Summit in fostering these essential connections and collaborations, helping shape the future of clinical trials. Join us as we uncover how collective wisdom and cross-industry partnerships are transforming the landscape of clinical research.
