Distribution

Absorption Systems uses both in vitro and in vivo models to measure and classify the distribution of our customers' compounds.

We routinely run assays for our customers that determine, for example:

  • the extent that a compound binds to the plasma proteins,
  • the extent and rate at which a compound penetrates the blood-brain barrier,
  • the pharmacokinetics of a compound in mice, rats, mini-pigs, dogs, and non-human primates.

A description of our various distribution related assays can be found in the Assay Data Sheets listed in the Related Literature section below.  Click on the ones you want to download.

You will not be taken away from the page you are currently viewing.

Please contact Absorption Sytems if you would like our help in determining the distribution properties of your compounds.
