Metals & Inorganic Bioanalysis

Industries serviced: Medical & Pharmaceutical

Intertek provides GLP bioanalysis of inorganic elements and ions in clinical samples including whole blood, plasma, serum, solid tissue, tissue culture media, cell lysates, urine and other biological fluids. A range of technology options are available for bioanalysis and related scientific investigations.

Based in Manchester, UK, Intertek ASG offers a range of technologies in a GLP compliant environment to determine levels of trace metals and other inorganic elements and ions in clinical samples to support drug discovery, drug development and the safety assessment of implantable medical devices.  Combined with laboratory automation we provide method development, method validation and bioanalysis for metals and inorganic elements in samples derived from both preclinical and clinical studies.  In addition, our on site Class II Bio sample handling facility enables us to handle clinical and/or diagnostic specimens.

Metals and inorganic bioanalysis services include:

• Rapid assessment of total element content
• Detection and quantification of trace elements using ICP in cell lysates
• Metal ion release in plasma from prosthetic implants using ICP-MS
• Detection and quantification of anions and cations such as phosphate, halide, sulphate, sodium and other alkali metals, ammonium salts and amino acids by ion chromatography
• Detection and quantification of sugars and polysaccharides by ion chromatography
• Elemental mapping of tissue samples with electron SEM-EDAX
• Labeling with gold colloids and other staining techniques of tissue samples for imaging with TEM
