DMPK - 700x400

Cutting-edge LC-MS/MS Bioanalysis for Small Molecule Compounds

Count on us to deliver with unmatched speed, precision, and adaptability. IDEXX BioAnalytics provides high-quality and flexible LC-MS/MS bioanalysis for small molecule compounds with a fast turnaround. In addition to standard protein precipitation, we offer solid phase extraction and solid-supported liquid extraction. We offer the same high-quality, flexible, and fast turnaround in our bioanalysis laboratory as we do for our current clinical and anatomic pathology services.

Rely on our swift, accurate, and versatile approach to exceed your needs.
