PerkinElmer , a global leader committed to innovating for a healthier world, today announced the addition of new assay kits to help further GPCR (G Protein-Coupled Receptor) therapeutic discovery . The new PerkinElmer offerings extend the company’s leading GPCR analysis portfolio, which includes innovative assays, plate readers, automation technologies and software solutions combined with siRNA, shRNA, CRISPR, and cDNA/ORFlibraries to help scientists more easily and accurately characterize receptors, screen compounds and streamline workflows.
The new assays, which enable researchers to use the preferred cell models of their choice, include the HTRF GTP Gi binding kit, the industry’s first TR-FRET based assay for GTP binding; the B-arr2 recruitment kit; and HTRF total kits for B-Arrestin 1, B-Arrestin 2 and AP2. These assays will help scientists continue to better understand the important role GPCRs play in disease by studying the interaction, expression and potential modulation of intracellular proteins involved in GPCR signaling mechanisms.
Further, when the new kits are leveraged as part of PerkinElmer’s comprehensive range of GPCR solutions, users can fully characterize the GPCRs being studied -- from ligand binding with the Tag-Lite® platform, and 2nd messenger with the cAMP and IP-One™ kits , to downstream GPCR signaling with hundreds of available assays. With the recent acquisition of Horizon Discovery, the PerkinElmer portfolio also includes siRNA, shRNA, CRISPR guide RNA, and cDNA/ORF libraries, such as ON-TARGETplus™, SMARTvector™ and Edit-R™ and screening services, which help researchers better explore the impact of gene modulation and editing on GPCR disease drivers.
“With GPCR-targeting drugs accounting for more than 30% of all FDA approved therapeutics and 20% of all drugs being studied, this area of research and development has been incredibly fruitful and holds immense potential for the future,” said Alan Fletcher, VP and GM of Life Sciences, PerkinElmer. “By adding these new assays to our already robust GPCR capabilities, we are giving researchers an end-to-end solution for continuing to unlock the role GPCRs play in disease so new and better therapeutics can be uncovered.”

Fujirebio Expands Its Neuro Testing Portfolio With the Launch of the Fully Automated Lumipulse® G pTau 217 CSF Assay for Research Use Only28.1.2026 07:07:00 CET | Press release
H.U. Group Holdings Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary Fujirebio today announced the availability of the Lumipulse G pTau 217 CSF assay for the fully automated LUMIPULSE® G immunoassay analyzers. This CLEIA (chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay) assay is available for Research Use Only (RUO) and allows for the quantitative measurement of Tau phosphorylated at threonine 217 (pTau 217) in human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) within just 35 minutes. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by the accumulation of neurofibrillary tangles in the brain, composed of hyperphosphorylated tau, and amyloid plaques, consisting of distinct β-amyloid peptides. CSF pTau217 has emerged as an early biomarker for neuropathological changes associated with AD. This new immunoassay further strengthens Fujirebio’s growing portfolio of neurological biomarkers and reinforces the company’s leading position in the advancement of associated research tools and diagnostics. “By adding pTau 217 CSF to our neuro portfol
