Integrated DMPK services for lead optimization and IND filing

Integrated DMPK Services from HIT to Lead Optimization and IND/IMPD Filing
Aragen’s uniqueness comes from its ability to provide comprehensive DMPK expertise and technologies from the early drug discovery (High-throughput profiling/rank order) to lead optimization and IND/IMPD filing for all modalities of small and large molecules in rodents and non-rodents. We work for customer delight, using biomatrices from certified vendors and animals from CRL subsidiaries. Our two mirror image facilities at Hyderabad and Bangalore have 2.5 dozen of high-end LC-MS/MS and HRMS, to eradicate bottlenecks in bioanalyses and produce quality data in best timelines.
