- Mouse and rat study design and execution
- Drug dosing through injection, oral, and surgical methods
- Surgical procedures (tumor implantation, catheter insertion)
- Sample collection (blood, tissues, brain fluid, organs)
- Behavioral studies using custom equipment
- Tissue preparation for analysis
- Animal care following all safety protocols
- Organ weighing and examination
Bioanalytical Testing Services
We provide comprehensive laboratory testing of samples collected during studies. Our advanced equipment analyzes genes, proteins, cells, and tissue structure to give you detailed insights into how treatments affect biological systems.
- Gene expression analysis (qPCR testing)
- Protein analysis (Western blot testing)
- Cell counting and analysis (flow cytometry)
- Cell imaging and characterization
- Metabolism testing of tissues and cells
- Tissue structure analysis and microscopy
Cell Biology Services: Primary Cell Research and Analysis
We isolate and study cells from animal tissues to understand how treatments affect specific cell types. This includes immune cells, brain cells, and other specialized cells that are important for your research.
- Isolating cells from animal tissues (spleen, bone marrow, brain)
- Cell stimulation and response testing
- Immune system analysis from blood, tumors, and tissues
- Cell modification and genetic manipulation
- Fluorescence microscopy of cells and tissues
Drug and Material Testing: Analytical Characterization Services
We test and characterize drugs, nanoparticles, and other materials to understand their properties and how they interact with biological systems. This helps ensure your compounds are ready for testing and development.
- Nanoparticle size and charge measurement
- Drug formulation testing and characterization
- Material-tissue interaction studies
- Tracking how drugs move through the body
Advanced Imaging Services: Microscopy and Tissue Analysis
Our imaging capabilities help visualize cells, tissues, and biological processes in detail. We use advanced microscopy techniques to capture high-quality images that reveal important information about treatment effects.
- Fluorescence and confocal microscopy of tissue samples
- Advanced cell imaging and analysis
- Live cell monitoring and time-lapse imaging
Custom Behavioral Equipment Design: Specialized Testing Apparatus
We design and build custom behavioral testing equipment tailored to your specific research needs. Our in-house fabrication team creates specialized apparatus that traditional suppliers cannot provide, giving you unique research capabilities.
