Precision Bioanalytical Services for Drug Development

We offer a full range of bioanalytical services conducted in state-of-the-art, purpose-built laboratories at our locations in the U.S. and Canada. Our precision bioanalytical services as standalone work or as part of a service package.

At the heart of research bioanalysis is key in determining the effects your drugs will have on the lives of patients Altascience's strategically placed bioanalytical laboratories in the I.S. and Canada can support you through all stages of your drug development pathway seamlessly bridging the gap from discovery to preclinical to late-stage clinical Our preclinical and clinical scientists work closely together, allowing clients to leverage our expertise from each stage of development and provide them with both operational and financial efficiencies. We develop methods to support bioanalysis as part of preclinical or clinical studies conducted at Altasciences as well as stand-alone studies. Altasciences fosters innovation and provides in-depth bioanalytical experience for both innovator and generic drug development programs. We support all therapeutic modalities, including small and large molecules, covering a wide spectrum of biological matrices to support preclinical and clinical programs. The bioanalysis team has a breadth of scientific expertise which is at the forefront of the science for biologics drug development in the areas of drug quantitation, biomarker assessment, and immunogenicity testing. Our team of over 300 bioanalytical subject matter experts alongside our teams of pharmacokinetics, toxicokinetics, biostatistics, project management, medical writers, and regulatory experts support your bioanalytical needs in all phases of drug development. Each query is evaluated by Altasciences' team of subject matter experts, to provide a detailed assessment of your project and design customized workflows using hybrid LCMS mass spectrometry, ligand binding, and other state-of-the-art platforms. Our team of R&D scientists can conduct de novo method development, method transfer, and discovery sample analysis. We have the capability to support our clients in the procurement of reference materials, rare matrices, and critical reagents. Our custom assay development capabilities and vast list of ready-to-use validated assays provide bioanalytical support for your individual programs [Music] Altascience's investment in advanced instrumentation has allowed us to undertake even the most complex studies and successfully implement novel techniques, such as microsampling, that optimize the experience for both animals and humans. I believe that clients do come to Altasciences for three major reasons. One is our scientific acumen — our established reputation in the field of bioanalysis. The second reason is the outstanding communication; the moment the project is placed with us the communication is continuously ongoing. Clients are kept in the loop from initiation through to completion. The third reason that they would want to come to Altasciences is largely because we can find innovative solutions to difficult problems. A lot of what we are seeing now, particularly in the realm of microsampling, clients are requiring to go lower and lower and lower in sensitivity and we are up to those challenges with our research team here with the vast amount of experience we have. Our laboratories are equipped with optimally designed spaces, equipment, and storage to ensure operational excellence. At Altasciences, assigned study personnel maintain open communication with key stakeholders to efficiently and proactively manage project progression. I went into science because I want to make a difference. I want to be that person to go and tell that patient, through the work that I do, that there's hope — there's hope for a better life. The latest technology, the sharpest minds, and scientific experts that bring your vision to life. We are Altasciences.
