Preclinical Discovery
TCGLS has more than 12 years of experience in providing DMPK and bioanalytical services to global pharmaceutical, biotech, and animal health companies, supporting their preclinical drug discovery programs. Our state-of-the-art DMPK facility is well equipped with multiple liquid handling & LC-MS systems, as well as an in-house breeding facility to maintain a regular supply of rodents.
Our team of highly skilled and dedicated scientists has extensive experience in a broad spectrum of DMPK studies to add value to our customersβ discovery efforts, by providing reliable data in an economic and efficient manner. We offer flexible solutions by developing customized assays as and when required to rapidly adapt to the project needs.
