Our HybridSPE ® -PLus plates effectively remove phospholipids and proteins from biological matrices in a simple pass-through method for accurate and reproducible LC-MS analysis. Unlike other phospholipid removal SPE products on the market, the unique retention mechanism of HybridSPE ® allows for separation of even very hydrophobic analytes from phospholipid contaminants.     

Supel™ Swift HLB is a polymeric stationary phase for solid phase extraction (SPE) prior to instrumental analysis. It has both hydrophilic and lipophilic functional groups for the extraction of a broad range of compounds from aqueous samples. It retains analytes having diff erent polarities and Log P values due to its hydrophilic and lipophilic balance (HLB) property.

The only kit you’ll need to build your own organ-on-chip

The open organ-on-chip platform

Afla-V AQUA Strip Tests utilize the proven sensitivity and selectivity of VICAM's monoclonal antibodies to accurately detect and measure total aflatoxins (B1, B2, G1 & G2) at levels as low as 2.5 ppb and as high as 50 ppb. Afla-V AQUA eliminates the need for hazardous solvents using a water-based, dilution-free extraction procedure that develops in just 5 minutes. Results are displayed on the digital screen and may also be pr…

The Thermo Scientific ToxInsight Drug Induced Liver Injury Assay Cartridge for the ToxInsight IVT Platform offers a new multi-parameter cell-based assay to determine the risk of liver injury by chemicals being tested for new drugs or for consumer products safety assessment. The ToxInsight DILI Cartridge is for identifying compound hepatotoxicity by simultaneous detection of multiplexed targets, including cell loss, nuclear DNA…

The Thermo Scientific ToxInsight Endocrine Profiler Panel offers a complete solution for consumer products companies needing to comply with regulatory Reproductive Toxicity testing requirements. Traditional methods of assessing endocrine disruption in vitro measure single targets in homogeneous formats and have a record of low predictive power. The Thermo Scientific ToxInsight Endocrine Profiler Panel leverages our proven tech…

Assessment of Neuronal Activity Using Microelectrode Array. The eCiphrNeuro assay uses primary cultures of rat cortical neurons. Cyprotex’s neuronal assay uses high throughput microelectrode array (MEA) technology to monitor electrophysiological activity. Neurons grown on microelectrode arrays recapitulate many features of neurons in vivo, including spontaneous activity (spiking and bursting), plasticity, organisation a…

Selvita’s in vivo team has long standing experience in the areas of infection, inflammation and fibrosis and has contributed to numerous  preclinical and clinical candidates.  Over 60 animal models in mice, rats, and rabbits are fully characterized and validated with clinically relevant pharmacological controls whereas in-depth expertise in translational biomarker selection and validation gives confidence in the smooth transi…

Gentronix has launched a new, accurate and fast in vitro mammalian cell genotoxicity assay - GreenScreen HC. The TK6 host cells are p53 competent and familiar to most genetic toxicology laboratories. A patented GFP reporter system exploits the proper regulation of the GADD45a gene. The assay delivers both high specificity and high sensitivity and detects all common mechanistic classes of genotoxin. The 96-well microplate for…

In 2008 Gentronix launches a new S9 protocol to extend the application of the GreenScreen HC assay to include the detection of genotoxic metabolites. Many pharmaceuticals only present a genotoxicity hazard after metabolism and such chemicals are called pro-mutagens or pro-genotoxins. Generally, although not exclusively, the liver is considered responsible for the “metabolic activation” (MA) of promutagens. However, none of t…

BlueScreen HC is based on the fast, accurate GreenScreen HC genotoxicity assay from Gentronix Ltd. BlueScreen HC uses the same human-derived, p53-competent TK6 cells to host a patented reporter system that exploits the proper regulation of the GADD45a gene. However, in place of GFP, BlueScreen HC utilizes a luciferase from the marine copepod Gaussia princeps to generate a luminescent output. The BlueScreen luminescent assa…

BlueScreen HC uses a single cell strain, which permits 8 compounds to be tested across 8 dilutions (2-fold serial), together with untreated and positive controls, in one 96-well microplate. After arraying test compounds and dilutions, growing cells are added to each well. For studies without S9 metabolic activation data are collected after incubation (48h) using a multimode microplate reader. For studies incorporating S9 metab…
