ADME Analysis
BioTrove has launched a new platform for drug discovery researchers’ screening and analysis of in vitro ADME data. The RapidFire 300 provides scientists a label-free, high throughput, mass spectrometry-based instrument for several in vitro ADME applications, including pre-validated CYP Inhibition and Metabolic Stability analytical methods. Previously limited by time and labor intensive screening platforms, BioTrove has met researcher demands for high quality in vitro ADME data with a short turnaround time.
