PK Assay Services for Accurate Pharmacokinetic Analysis

Understanding the PK profile of a given therapeutic is an essential element of assessing its efficacy and safety. PK evaluations help to define the proper dosage, route, and schedule of administration during preclinical and clinical studies. BioAgilytix provides PK assay development, validation, and sample testing, as well as PK analysis and reports to support all drug modalities at any phase of development. 

team working together

Rely on a team of veteran scientists with significant experience in developing PK assays.

  • We are well-versed in the industry practices and regulatory expectations for developing and validating acceptable PK assays. 
  • We understand the factors that could influence the reliability of the data generated by these assays and take those complexities into account during method validation to ensure optimal results.
  • We have the expertise to interpret PK assay data to gain an accurate understanding of the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion characteristics of the product. 
  • We are experienced in supporting PK analysis in a variety of species, including rodents, humans, and nonhuman primates. 
  • We are experienced with many matrices, including serum, plasma, urine, saliva, CSF, vitreous humor, aqueous humor, milk, tissue lysates, and whole blood lysates. 
  • We offer high-quality PK assay methodologies and results in strict compliance with GLP and GCP regulations as well as international regulatory standards (FDA, EMEA, ICH). 

Generate reproducible and reliable results.

Our scientists ensure that the applied bioanalytical method is well characterized, fully validated, and documented to yield reproducible and reliable results using the following techniques:
