Medical Laboratory Consumables
The process of discovering or designing potential drugs is known as drug discovery. Most drugs have previously been discovered either by isolating the active ingredient from traditional remedies or by chance. Understanding the metabolic pathways associated with a disease state or pathogen, and manipulating these pathways using molecular biology or biochemistry, is a common focus of modern biotechnology. Universities and research institutions have traditionally been responsible for a large portion of early-stage drug development.
Drug development is the process of testing a compound's suitability as a medication after it has been identified as a potential drug. The goals of drug development are to determine the best formulation and dosing, as well as to ensure that the drug is safe. In vitro studies, in vivo studies, and clinical trials are commonly used in this type of research. Due to the high cost of late-stage development, it is usually undertaken by larger pharmaceutical companies.
From protein purification to cell culture maintenance and QA/QC testing for pharmaceutical, antibody, and vaccine production, the pharmaceutical industry requires accurate and precise liquid handling solutions for almost every task.
