a. The Dry Blood Spot(DBS) advantages include
•Reduce blood volume and more time points / animal
•Eliminate freezing sample for storage and shipping, and no freeze / thaw               stability issue
•Eliminate enzymatic degradation
•Tolerate blood anticoagulant, temperature differences and pipetting               variation
•Increase biosafety with card coating matrices to kill bacteria and viruses
•Simplify and reduce cost for global sample shipping and handing

Sensitivity is the challenge for bioanalysis of DBS samples due to reduced blood volume in 10-20 uL. At Elim, we utilize the most sensitive LCMSMS system, AB Sciex Qtrap 6500, to analyze DBS samples.

a. We offer a full range of Bioanalytical services using cutting-edge LCMSMS technology. This includes small molecule quantification and large molecule quantification from a variety of biological matrices. Please click here for a full description of our BA and Mass Spec services.

a. Yes. Our team consists of highly experienced senior leadership with the best industrial bioanalytical experience and well trained bioanalytical chemists. Our senior leader has performed large-scale Bioanalytical studies in GLP regulated contract research organizations (CRO), produced numerous bioanalytical reports and reviews for FDA submission.

a. We use cutting-edge instrumentations, including the industry's leading LCMSMS and a variety of supporting automations for large scale sample handling.

a. We support PK, PD, Toxicokinetics, ADME and metabolite ID studies for drug discovery, preclinical and clinical developments. We also work on samples from a variety of other sources including clinical and food samples.

a. Yes. We support biomarker assays and quantifications for drug safety and efficacy, diagnostics, disease modeling, and clinical studies.

a. Elim has the fastest turn around times in the industry. However, the specific time required for a study will depend on the specifics of your sample and the scope and scale of the study. A small bioanalytical study with limited sample quantity can be turned around as fast as overnight.
