One Lab From Dose Formulation To The IND Package

About 28% of this year's work is preclinical, most of it bound for an IND.

GLP Method Development, Validation And ISR

  • Validated to FDA guidance and ICH M10 on LC-MS/MS or ligand binding, ISR built into the plan
  • Fit-for-purpose tiers for discovery and DRF work, so you never pay GLP rates without need

Toxicokinetics Across Every Study Species

  • Rat, mouse, rabbit, dog, minipig, goat, sheep and NHP in plasma, serum, urine and tissues
  • Cohort by cohort exposures to your study director before the next dosing day, not after

Dose Formulation Analysis Before First Dose

  • Concentration, homogeneity and stability of the dosing article, verified before animals dose
  • HPLC and LC-MS methods for solutions, suspensions and diets, run to the in-life calendar

In Vitro ADME And Metabolite Identification

  • Microsomal and hepatocyte stability, MDCK-MDR1 permeability, protein binding, CYP profiling
  • Metabolite identification on the Q Exactive HF Orbitrap ahead of your first-in-human dose

Biodistribution, Shedding And VCN By ddPCR

  • Validated ddPCR and qPCR for vector copy number, tissue biodistribution and shedding panels
  • Tissue panels processed on KingFisher and TissueLyser workflows at full preclinical scale

The Bioanalytical Half Behind Your Tox CRO

  • TK and dose formulation behind your vivarium or one of our partners, on the in-life dates
  • No animal facility here, so your tox CRO gains a partner laboratory, never a competitor

What The IND Reviewer Asks, And Where It Comes From

Reviewers want proof the dose was real, the exposure measured and the drug's distribution known. From mouse to NHP, each answer starts with formulation checked before day one.

  1. Was The Dose What You Claim

    Dose formulation verified for concentration, homogeneity and stability before day one

    Dose Formulation
  2. Was Exposure Really Measured

    Validated TK methods, exposures cohort by cohort with ISR on regulated studies

    Tox Study
  3. Was It GLP Throughout

    Part 58 conduct: protocol, study director, and a QAU audit trail behind every number

    GLP Laboratory
  4. Where Did The Drug Go

    Tissue distribution and vector copy number by validated ddPCR where the modality demands it

    ddPCR Service, qPCR
  5. Did The Animals React

    Preclinical immunogenicity tiers run beside TK on the same accessions

    Immunogenicity
  6. Can The Agency Read It

    WinNonlin parameters in SEND-ready tables, the audited report your IND files

Your In-Life Dates Are Fixed, So The Bioanalysis Cannot Be What Slips

IND-enabling work fails on documentation debt: decisions made informally that an inspector later asks about. Ours are written down as they happen.

Talk Science First? Ask Our Preclinical Experts.

Discuss species, timeline and IND scope.
  • TK exposures return cohort by cohort while the study is still dosing, so your study director sees parent and metabolite levels before the next escalation, not after the in-life phase ends.
  • Twelve LC-MS systems with duplicated ligand binding and PCR platforms absorb tox study peaks, so a fifty-timepoint dosing day is a scheduling event here rather than anyone’s bottleneck.
  • Quality is the floor, not the pitch: GLP under 21 CFR Part 58, an independent QAU, five FDA inspections and ISR built into validation plans, all inspectable on any audit you book.

What Does Preclinical Bioanalysis Cost?

Pricing is per assay and per sample, with no minimum batch size, so a DRF screen and a pivotal GLP tox study are quoted on what they need. Method validation runs two to three weeks on LC-MS/MS and four to six on ligand binding, small projects run signature to results in two to four weeks, and a senior scientist replies within two business days.

Your Cost Cannot Move Mid-Study

The quote you approve is the price you pay. Cost cannot move mid-study without an SOW addendum you have already approved, which matters most when the tox program behind your IND spans seasons of in-life work.

Word For Word: Sponsors And Tox CRO Partners On The Preclinical Work

The method that carries your tox study usually stays on for the clinic. More than 90% of methods developed in our lab go on to run study samples with us.

  • CRO Partner

    Really appreciate the Co-Presidents’ hands-on approach.

  • Co-Founder, Biotech & University PI

    NorthEast BioLab tremendously supported us in reproducing our critical lab discoveries for drug metabolism

  • Executive Director, Pharmacokinetics

    We trust NorthEast BioLab to design and execute streamlined, impactful bioanalytical projects

Complete Guide on IND Enabling Toxicology Studies

In pharmaceutical discovery and development, many drug substances and their formulations are generated. However, the vast majority of these compounds will not be suitable as final products for commercialization….

One GLP Tox Study, Start To SEND: A Representative Program, Step By Step

We verify the dosing article before first dose, read exposures while dosing is under way and build the tables for submission. The steps follow the order a reviewer will reconstruct.

  1. 1. Dosing Article Verified

  2. 2. Day One TK Draws

    Samples courier from your vivarium and accession into Watson LIMS same day

  3. 3. Exposures Between Dosing Days

    Cohort by cohort TK to the study director before the next escalation

  6. 6. NCA, SEND, Audited Report

    WinNonlin parameters, SEND ready tables and the report your IND files

Why Do Sponsors Choose Our Lab For IND-Enabling Bioanalysis?

Because five FDA inspections have walked through our quality system, and the study file reads the same in year three as in week one.
