While blood and CSF have long dominated biomarker research, tear fluid is emerging as a scientifically relevant, non-invasive matrix for detecting systemic and neurological biomarkers. Produced by lacrimal glands and influenced by neural, immune, and endocrine pathways, tears contain cytokines and neuronal proteins that reflect both local and central pathophysiology.
With Simoa®’s ultra-sensitive immunoassay technology, researchers can now quantify low-abundance biomarkers in microliter volumes of tear fluid—opening new avenues in inflammation and neurodegeneration research.
