Preclinical Bioanalysis of Large Molecules

Preclinical Bioanalysis of Large Molecules Services

The preclinical bioanalysis of large molecules is focused on the analytical needs supporting IND-enabling studies for a large molecule-based therapeutic product. Pharmaron’s bioanalysis teams perform studies (PK, TK, immunogenicity, immune response and biomarker analysis) in GLP-compliant laboratories that meet the regulatory requirements for an IND submission. Bioanalytical methods are developed and/or validated fully, followed by sample analysis and data processing and reporting.  The tech team has been supported extensively by in-house QA and RA teams. Pharmaron’s laboratories have been inspected by FDA, OECD and NMPA agencies successfully since inception.

  • Assay development, transferred and kit-based assay optimization to support the bioanalysis of therapeutic biologics for programs in a preclinical development phase
  • Assay development, transferred and kit-based assay optimization for the analysis of ADA, ADCC, CDC and ADCP, TDAR and NAb, etc.
  • Assay development, assay transferred and kit-based assay optimization for analysis of biomarkers of interest
