Drug Testing

 

The use of β-glucuronidase and/or sulfatase plays an important role in the preparation of biological samples.

These enzymes cleave glucuronide and/or sulfate conjugates from the drug metabolite and convert it back into the free parent drug allowing for increased sensitivity and a simplified workflow.

Every test is critical, whether it's for TDM, forensic testing, workplace drug testing, anti-doping, or anything in between.

 

We believe your lab should have the best enzymes to ensure the best results.

TDM

Therapeutic Drug Monitoring is used to monitor compliance and test for drug abuse.

Opiates & Opioids

Class of drugs that are used to reduce pain in natural, semi-synthetic and synthetic forms.

Natural Cannabinoids

This includes THC-COOH, as well as other natural cannabinoids such as Cannabidiol (CBD).

Benzodiazepines

Class of drugs that produces sedative, anti-anxiety, and anticonvulsant effects.

Nor/Buprenorphines

Buprenorphine is a partial opioid agonist and its active metabolite is norbuprenorphine.

Hormones/Steroids

These derivatives of cholesterol include β-glucuronides and/or sulfate conjugates.

NPS

Novel Psychoactive Substances are designed to mimic the effects of drugs, risking public health.

Protein Analysis

 

Mass Spectrometry based proteomics has emerged as an extremely powerful tool that can be used for peptide fingerprinting, to identify thousands of proteins from complex samples, or to characterize its post-translational modifications.

Bottom-up and shotgun proteomics uses proteases to digest protein samples into peptides, while glycosidases are used for post-translational modifications analysis.

Meet the new sparkling science.
