Merck – Multiplex Toxicology Assay

Toxicity studies are critical when it comes to evaluating drug safety and how the drug molecule interacts with key organs.

Bead-based multiplex toxicity assays enable a precise, multiparametric analysis of toxicity and its underlying processes. MILLIPLEX multiplex toxicity biomarker assay kits enable researchers to simultaneously quantify dozens of toxicity analytes across several species (including rat, mouse, porcine, canine, and feline models). For example, these assays can analyse specific toxicities including:

Detecting qualified kidney toxicity biomarkers, in contrast to traditional BUN and serum creatinine (SCr) tests, can enable early detection and localisation of kidney damage, which are crucial for the accurate assessment of toxicity.
