Read article Maximizing Efficiencies of ADC Studies: The Ultimate Guide for Leveraging LBA and LC-MS/MS Under One Roof

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have been conventionally developed for a wide range of oncological applications since the first ADC approval in 2000 by the FDA. Typically, an ADC consists of three main components: antibody, linker conjugate, and therapeutic drug (payload). The mechanism of an ADC involves the antibody binding to a…

Read article LBA Generic PK Assays: Faster Development and Lower Costs

A pharmacokinetic (PK) assays evaluate how the body affects a specific substance after administration which includes: absorption, biodistribution, metabolism, and excretion. Preclinical (or non-clinical) PK assays play a crucial role in drug development and typically focus on assessing drug safety and maximum tolerable dose. For the development of pre-clinical…
