IAS Technical Capabilities
The backbone of the analytical services at IAS consists of Applied Biosystems/MDS SCIEX mass spectrometry platforms. These state-of-the-art systems provide the power and flexibility required to meet the client's discovery and research needs.
- For high sensitivity quantitation we use API triple-quadropole mass spectrometers.
- For high resolution and high accuracy we use the Q-STAR hybrid quadrupole-TOF mass spectrometer.
Shimadzu VP HPLC systems are used as front-ends to our mass spectrometers and for stand-alone liquid chromatography applications. Our HPLC systems are equipped with micro-plate autosamplers to meet the demand for high-throughput sample analysis.
Based on our technical expertise and quality instrumentation IAS is positioned to add value to the client's research in the following areas:
- Bioanalytical LC/MS/MS Services: Quantitation of drug molecules in biological matrices by LC/MS/MS
- PK Screening: PK screening, studies and related stability, binding and permeability assays
- Drug Metabolism: In vitro liver stability assays and drug-drug interaction studies
- Biopharmaceutical Analysis: LC/MS/MS bioanalysis and HPLC-UV based evaluation of small molecules, peptides and proteins
