Overview

Biopta services

Biopta offers ready validated assays across all therapeutic areas.

Moreover, if you have specific requirements utilising a particular tissue within your target therapeutic area, our in-house assay development team will work with you to create and validate a bespoke assay to meet your needs.

By evaluating your compounds in the closest model to human in vivo conditions, you can greatly increase the predictive power of your drug selection.

  • improve predictability
  • streamline preclinical development
  • reduce the cost of late stage failures
  • Inflammation
    Biopta investigates inflammatory processes using healthy and inflamed human tissues. Tissues available include the full human gastrointestinal tract
  • Metabolic
    Biopta researches a number of tissue types from individuals with metabolic disorders, in particular diabetes. Changes in the structure and function
  • Gastrointestinal
    Biopta is able to predict drug effects in the stomach, small intestine or large intestine providing valuable information on safety or efficacy.
  • Cardiovascular
    Biopta has expertise in the study of both cardiac and vascular tissues. We can provide information on the potential activity of your compounds
  • Respiratory
    Human isolated bronchi represent a powerful method for the study of airway epithelium (epithelial ion transport) and smooth muscle responsiveness.
  • Genitourinary
    Biopta accesses urinary bladder and uterus for a range of studies. Overactive bladder is a major problem with relatively few successful treatments.
  • CNS
    Biopta is able to assess vasoconstrictor activity of test drugs in human cerebral arteries; of particular interest to migraine and stroke research.
  • Dermatology
    Biopta is able to research many functions of human skin and subcutaneous tissues. Fresh healthy tissue can be compared with diseased skin to provid
  • Safety
    Biopta Ltd is a GLP CRO specialising in predictive functional tests in human tissues. We use ethically obtained tissues to provide early
  • Assay Development
      Our dedicated Assay Development Team works with you to create the human tissue assay that achieves your goals.
