Toxicology Studies in Drug Development
ADME-Tox Portfolio
A substantial share of drug-candidate attrition stems from toxicities not recognized until late in clinical trials, driving up development costs. Understanding ADME-Tox (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion & toxicity) is central to early discovery — our portfolio spans hepatotoxicity, nephrotoxicity, respiratory, dermal & neurotoxicity models built on primary human cells and predictive in vitro assays.

ViaLight™ · ToxiLight™ Cell Viability & Cytotoxicity Assays
ViaLight™ ATP bioluminescence counts live cells — proliferation, viability and cytotoxicity down to 10 cells per well in under 20 minutes, faster and more sensitive than MTT-type dye assays. ToxiLight™ detects dead cells through adenylate kinase release, non-destructively, so the remaining cells can be assayed further. Both read on a microplate luminometer or the Lucetta™ 2.

Primary Cells and Media
Primary Cells vs. Cell Lines
Primary cells, isolated directly from tissue, retain donor-specific characteristics — age, medical history & disease state — with low genetic mutation and close resemblance to native tissue biology, unlike immortalized cell lines. Our portfolio spans 100+ human & animal cell types across 20+ donors, paired with BulletKit® media formulated with the growth factors and hormones needed to preserve tissue-specific phenotype and consistent growth.
