Unlocking the Potential of Interstitial Fluid (ISF) Biomarkers

Transforming Drug Development, Diagnostics & Patient Care For decades, blood has been the dominant biofluid for biomarker discovery, diagnostics, and therapeutic monitoring. While valuable, blood comes with limitations: delayed signals, systemic ‘noise,’ invasive sampling, and constraints on frequency. Interstitial fluid (ISF), the fluid that surrounds every cell in the body, offers a complementary and, in many cases, superior alternative. ISF captures molecular changes at the tissue level where disease begins and where drugs act. Advances in minimally invasive sampling technologies now make ISF accessible at scale, opening new possibilities across …

Tapping into the body’s ISF ‘superhighway’ for early disease detection

By extracting and analyzing biomarker data in interstitial fluid (ISF), we can better detect and treat a range of diseases much earlier. June 3, 2025  Medical Design & Outsourcing Pending FDA approval, the Kiffik Lab will be commercially available for at-home colorectal cancer testing in mid-2026. [Image courtesy of Kiffik Biomedical] In the mid-1800s, British physician Dr. Henry Bence Jones began testing the blood and urine of patients to look for signs of a protein indicative of multiple myeloma. Bence Jones is credited as being the first to explore biomarker …

Kiffik is on the verge of transforming the future of healthcare

The interstitial space is the primary source of lymph and is a major fluid compartment in the body. While the anatomy and composition of the interstitial space between cells is increasingly understood, the existence, location, and structure of larger inter- and intra-tissue spaces is described only vaguely in the literature.

The industry’s first noninvasive, remote point of care device that identifies biomarkers found in interstitial fluid

For the first time, extraction of bio-rich interstitial fluid (IF) with all its components will be available for multiple health applications. This addition to the medical professional’s toolkit opens the door to a range of opportunities. For scientists, physicians, veterinarians, and hospital professionals, there is the chance to perform continuous or periodic monitoring of critical biomarkers that are prevalent in diseases. The information learned from this fluid can help clinicians, researchers, and biopharmaceutical developers overcome the limitations of plasma and serum monitoring.
