PerkinElmer, Inc. , a global leader committed to innovating for a healthier world, today launched the life science industry’s first no wash Ubiquitin phosphorylation at Serine 65 immunoassay for studying defective mitophagy biological mechanisms that have been broadly associated with diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. The new PerkinElmer Cisbio HTRF® Phospho-Ubiquitin (Ser65) Cellular Kit takes analysis efficiency and accuracy to the next level compared to existing techniques such as Western blot and is aimed at helping scientists discover new therapeutic candidates earlier in the disease cycle.
The innovative assay leverages TR-FRET technology to bring high sensitivity across a wide range of analytes and greater study specificity to the Phospho-Ubiquitin (Ser65) intersection point that has been shown to play a key role in mitophagy dysfunction and breakdowns in the complex network between neurons and glial cells which can lead to neurodegenerative disease.
Efficient and streamlined workflows and accelerated data delivery are also provided by the immunoassay’s mix and read method approach and compatibility with microplate readers such as PerkinElmer’s VictorTM Nivo® or EnVision® systems. Analysis can also be automated and run in high throughput formats.
“With over 70 Million people around the world living with Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s and the sheer complexity of how neurodegenerative disease develops in the brain, it is critical that scientists have the tools they need to help unlock promising avenues of study such as modulating mitophagy impairment,” said Alan Fletcher, VP and GM of Life Sciences, PerkinElmer. “With this new immunoassay, researchers now have a more efficient and effective way to study a key biomarker which could lead to exciting new therapeutic candidates.”
The new PerkinElmer Cisbio HTRF Phospho-Ubiquitin (Ser65) Cellular Kit, joins PerkinElmer’s range of immunoassay kits and reagents for neuroscience applications across HTRF, Alpha, LANCE® and DELFIA® .

BeOne Showcases Landmark Phase 3 Data in CLL Patients Aged 80+ at EHA 2026, Reinforcing BRUKINSA Benefit11.6.2026 13:24:00 CEST | Press release
Nearly two-thirds of patients aged 80+ treated with BRUKINSA remained progression-free at six years, despite advanced age and high-risk featuresNew European patient research reveals safety, disease severity, and effectiveness are the top drivers for first-line CLL treatment decisions – not time on therapy BeOne Medicines Ltd. (Nasdaq: ONC; HKEX: 06160; SSE: 688235), a global oncology company, today announced the presentation of a large Phase 3 dataset in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) aged 80 and older, showing sustained benefit with BRUKINSA after nearly 6.5 years of follow-up, reinforcing its role as the foundational BTK inhibitor. BRUKINSA is the only BTK inhibitor to demonstrate superior efficacy vs. ibrutinib in a Phase 3 trial.1 These data, one of the largest datasets of older patients with treatment-naive CLL, will be presented at the 2026 European Hematology Association (EHA) Congress in Stockholm, Sweden.
