From antibody discovery to preclinical and clinical studies, understanding drug exposure, safety, and metabolism are essential in accelerating your programs path to clinic and commercialization.

Abzena develop, execute and document phase appropriate analytical methods necessary to produce high-quality, well-characterized material and the data to support successful IND and marketing applications as you move towards commercialization.

Applying our expertise and experience, we develop rapid data packages that support your regulatory approvals with all global agencies.

Our end-to-end approach

Our approach focuses on developing and qualifying phase appropriate assays for a spectrum of safety, potency, purity, identity, and extended characterization that enable end-to-end support for:

  • Design and developability
  • Cell line development
  • Formulation development
  • Upstream and downstream process development
  • GMP manufacturing
  • Release and stability testing for GMP material

Our global team of expert analytical scientists develop analytical test methods and analytical qualification protocols, leveraging state-of-the-art instrumentation and a molecule-specific, customized approach to method development, qualification, and testing.

Methods can be developed de novo or transferred in from external laboratories.
