Blood biomarkers

Blood biomarkers are measurable biological substances found in the blood that provide vital information about the health and function of the body. These markers encompass a wide range of molecules, including proteins, hormones, enzymes, lipids, and even genetic materials such as DNA and RNA. Each biomarker serves as a unique indicator, reflecting specific aspects of a person’s physiology, organ function, or overall health.

Blood biomarkers are considered highly valuable in clinical settings. Among the types of samples that can be taken from an organism, blood samples are regarded as less invasive compared to others, such as biopsies. This is why many researchers aim to identify blood biomarkers associated with a specific metabolic state or pathology that can be used to differentiate between normal and diseased states. Biomarkers can significantly influence decision-making. In the context of cancer, for example, blood biomarkers help determine the likelihood of cancer growth and spread, as well as evaluate whether certain treatments will be effective. Abylabel offers a multitude of kits for the determination of blood biomarkers.
