Assess the effectiveness of your bioactives with tailored biochemical and cell-based assays - covering inflammation, safety, absorption, and health areas including metabolic, skin, brain, and joint health.
What we do
We offer tailored bioassays to test the functionality and bioactivity of your natural product. We have both enzymatic based and cell-line assays in the following areas:
- Inflammation (enzyme and cell-based)
- Cell toxicity
- Digestibility
- Bioavailability and absorption
- Arthritis and joint health
- Diabetic development
- Cosmetics and skin health via Franz cell testing
- Brain and neurological health
- Blood clotting
We specialise in analyses of proteins and a variety of glycoconjugates from microorganisms, plants, animals and food products, including:
- Sialic acid
- Oligosaccharides (milk oligosaccharides)
- Polysaccharides, such as glycosaminoglycans (GAG), β- and α-glucans, gums, and starch
- Glycoproteins (lactoferrin, lactoperoxidase, and caseins)
- Glycan analysis
- Glycolipids (gangliosides)
