- GCP-compliant laboratory as from July 2005.
Experience in Bioanalysis
- Extensive validated bioanalysis assay list (1,000+ assays developed and validated in blood, serum, plasma, tissue, saliva, sputum, and formulations — and growing) for which a lower limit of quantitation of 1 pg/mL is no longer an exception.
- Over 2,000 bioanalysis studies conducted and more than 1 million samples analyzed.
- 20+ years experience in development, implementation, and validation of quantitative LC-MS assays for small molecules, peptides, proteins, ADC’s oligonucleotides, and biomarkers, employing multiple bioanalytical platforms.
- 15+ years experience in development, implementation, and validation of ICP-MS assays for total-, free-, and trace elemental analyses, extended to LC-ICP-MS assays for speciation analysis, degradation/stability studies, or quantitation of parent compounds and metabolites.
- Proven expertise with integration of ICP-MS with other analytical platforms: ICP-MS and DAD/UV (diode array) for serial detection, and parallel detection by ICP-MS and LC-MS/MS, or ELISA-ICP-MS for the analysis of metallodrugs, metallic DNA fragments, and metallopeptides.
- 20+ years experience in development, implementation, validation of ligand-binding, hybridization, and enzymatic assays for the quantification of biotherapeutics and biomarkers in complex biological matrices.
