Product news

Randox Drug Residues have released their newly improved Antimicrobial Array I. This comprehensive multiplex testing platform allows for the simultaneous detection of 15 of the most commonly abused sulphonamides in food production and agricultural industries.

Excellent limits of detection and simple sample preparations combine to make this product an impressive multi-analyte testing platform. Limits of detection for milk range from 0.5-2.5ppb which surpass any tolerance or maximum residue limits in place from regulatory bodies. Sample preparations are also available for honey, tissue, urine and feed, resulting in valuable time savings. Utilising the revolutionary Biochip Array Technology developed by Randox, high quality and reliable results are guaranteed.

This new testing platform includes the following compounds: Sulphamerazine, Sulphadoxine, Sulphapyridine, Sulphamethoxypyridazine, Sulphachlorpyridazine, Sulphathiazole, Sulphisoxazole, Sulphadimethoxine, Sulphaquinoxaline, Sulphamethazine, Sulphadiazine, Sulphamethizole, Sulphamethoxazole, Sulphamonomethoxine and Trimethoprim. Testing all of these compounds simultaneously offers a more complete and reliable detection method.

The Antimicrobial Array I is used in conjunction with the patented Evidence Investigator system which allows for cost effective high throughput screening for a range of drug residues. The Evidence Investigator is a semi-automated biochip analyser

High-Throughput ScreeningHigh-throughput screening (HTS) is an automated drug discovery technique for identification of active compounds against a compound library. Use HTS readers and integrated assay preparation / analysis workstations to screen your compounds. Identify active compounds against various HTS libraries, including membranes, proteins and peptides and HTS cell lines. Find the best high-throughput screening products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.ADME-ToxicologyADME-toxicology (ADME-Tox) studies are used in pharmacology and pharmacokinetics to assess the activity/toxicity of drugs <i>in vivo</i> or <i>in vitro</i>. Find bioassays for absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of drug molecules including cytotoxicity, transporter/permeability, metabolism and activity assays as well as hepatocytes and cell lines for ADME. Find the best ADME-toxicology products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Assay AssemblyAssay Assembly is technique used in drug discovery to develop assays to test the cytotoxicity, genotoxicity, or other activities of a compound on a cell. Assay assembly requires chip assembly, a delivery system and a detection and analysis method. Beneficial features of assay kits or automated systems include high-throughput, high speed and sensitivity and low signal to noise ratio.Medicinal ChemistryMedicinal chemistry is a broad discipline encompassing the design, identification, synthesis and development of chemicals in drug discovery. It includes a number of techniques covering structural biology, synthetic chemistry and molecular biology. Technologies used in medicinal chemistry include ADME, lab-on-a-chip, high content screening and assay assembly.Microarray AnalysisMicroarrays, also known as biochips, are used for the detection and analysis of multiple genes, proteins, antibodies, or biomarkers on a single microchip. This can reveal information on protein or gene expression, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), copy number variation (CNV), epigenetics and patient health in clinical diagnostic tests. Discover a range of microarray scanners and prefabricated antibody, protein, RNA and DNA microarrays for your analysis or consider creating your own custom microarrays with a microarray printer. Find the best microarray products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.High-Content ScreeningHigh-content screening (HCS), also known as high-content analysis (HCA), is a high-throughput technique used in drug discovery to identify substances that alter the phenotype of cells. HCS uses fluorescent microscopic imaging and automated image analysis to investigate cellular events such as apoptosis, cell viability, GPCR activation, oxide production, neurite outgrowth, and cell signaling.
