BioTools, Inc. is the world-leading provider of instrumentation and services for the characterization of all therapeutic modalities from small chiral molecules to bio-based. We also specialize in testing of consumer products, plant-based, raw material ID (for most industries), and cell media.
For biologics (including peptides, proteins and conjugates) and other bio-based pharmaceuticals such as Saccharide-derived, nucleic acid-based (mRNA, DNA, siRNA, AAV), complex drugs, and conjugates, we use HPLC for Purity (and other USP compendium tests), UV-Vis/ CD, FTIR and RAMAN/ROA for Higher Order Structure (HOS) and comparability studies.
For chiral molecules, we are the number one lab in the world for the determination of absolute configuration (AC) with our ground-breaking technique of vibrational circular dichroism (VCD). VCD analysis is performed in solution; it is fast, non-destructive, and requires no crystallization or chromophore derivatization for AC. We can also characterize chirality using the electronic CD.
Other molecules tested include cryopreservation media, cell culture media, protein-based food, and supplements.
