Enabling ADME/Tox Assays through Workflow Automation, Multiplexing and Detection
ADME/Tox is an acronym for the investigation of basic small molecule compound behavior in Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism and Excretion, combined with toxicity assessments.
In its simplest form, ADME studies are principally concerned with the effects of an organism, tissue or cell on the compound. Toxicology however looks at the effects of the compound on an organism, tissue or cell. There are myriad microplate-based assays using a wide range of detection technologies for the analysis of ADME/Tox properties. These assays can use purified enzymes, engineered cell lines, primary cells and cell aggregates using 3D cell culture.
BioTek instrumentation can be used to automate workflows, multiplex assays and detect assay signals over this broad range of ADME/Tox assays. In this Application News, we provide our top 10 peer-reviewed publications and application notes that describe these capabilities in Absorption, Metabolism and Toxicology.
