Services

The Clinical Pharmacology Analytical Services Laboratory (CPAS) supports researchers and clinicians involved in clinical pharmacology investigation and/ or patient care who require quantitative drug analysis for therapeutic drug monitoring.

The CPAS laboratory offers researchers and clinicians the resources to measure concentrations of compounds, metabolites, endogenous compounds and/ or biomarkers in human or animal blood and tissue samples.

The capabilities of CPAS include LC-MS/MS, LC-MS, GC-MS, HPLC-UV and HPLC-FLD. Additional, UV and fluorescent plate readers and liquid scintillation counters are available for conducting ELISA, RIA and other assays in a 96-well plate format. Because of its flexible structure, customers can purchase only the services they need, including assay consultation, assay development and validation, conduct of assays and application.
