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.

Advanced Genomic Applications

 

Advanced genomic applications represent cutting-edge technologies in genomics such as Next Generation Sequencing and DNA Synthesis, playing a pivotal role in unraveling the intricacies of genetic information and accelerating innovations in synthetic biology.

Polymerases, are crucial components in these applications. High fidelity polymerases ensure accurate replication of DNA sequences, maintaining precision during processes like routine PCR and next generation sequencing library amplification. On the other hand, template-independent polymerases such as Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferases (TdTs) are key players in DNA and RNA synthesis, enabling precision and customization in the production of genetic sequences.

Meet the new sparkling science.

Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)

Molecular technique that selectively amplifies specific DNA fragments to facilitating their analysis, detection, and quantification.

Next-Generation Sequencing

Advanced technology that enables the simultaneous sequencing of millions of DNA fragments. It provides detailed genomic data on a massive scale, allowing comprehensive analysis of genetic information.

DNA Synthesis

Artificial creation of DNA molecules. In molecular biology, it is a fundamental process used for various applications, including the production of custom DNA sequences for research, diagnostics, and biotechnological advancements.

Cloning

Creation of identical copies of DNA fragments, genes, or entire organisms. In molecular biology, cloning is a crucial technique for replicating and studying specific DNA sequences.

Long-Range PCR

Amplification of longer DNA fragments,  particularly useful for applications requiring the amplification of extended genomic regions.

Metagenomics and Environmental Sequencing

Study of genetic material recovered directly from environmental samples, allowing for the analysis of entire microbial communities.
