Metals and Inorganic Bioanalysis
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.
Intertek 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. Intertek provides method development, method validation and bioanalysis for metals and inorganic elements in samples derived from both preclinical and clinical studies. In addition, a UK on-site Class II Bio sample handling facility enables us to handle clinical and 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
