Residue data that holds up under regulatory scrutiny
Whether you're developing a veterinary medicine or an agrochemical with potential dietary exposure through livestock, accurate residue and metabolite data is non-negotiable. We deliver GLP-compliant ADME studies, metabolite profiling and residue characterisation from preliminary screening through to data needed to support your regulatory submissions.
What we do and who it's for
Our livestock metabolism service supports companies developing veterinary medicines, agrochemicals and feed additives that may result in residues in edible animal tissues. We determine the nature of residues, characterise metabolic pathways, and provide the data required to establish marker residues and maximum residue limits. The analytical phase is handled entirely in-house by expert metabolic chemists using advanced chromatographic and mass spectrometry equipment.
Advanced radio-analytical capability
Radio-HPLC, radio-LC-MS/MS, radio-TLC, LSC, bio-imaging and combustion analysis — the full toolkit for residue quantification and metabolite identification.
Known and unknown metabolite identification
Our LC-Orbitrap, LC-ToF, LC-Qtof and NMR instruments give us the capability to elucidate novel metabolite structures with precision and confidence.
In vitro and in vivo experience
have extensive experience across both study types — accurately isolating, identifying and characterising residues in tissues, plasma and excreta.
From single study to full programme
Whether you need a single preliminary ADME study or a complete registration programme with dossier support, we scale to your requirements.
UK National Reference Laboratory for Veterinary Medicines
As the UK NRL for veterinary medicines, with over 50 mass spectrometers on site, our analytical credibility for target-compound analysis is unmatched.
