Can we send some compounds to Gentronix for testing?
Yes, we can test compounds for customers in our laboratories at Gentronix as a contract research service. Both catalogue and proprietary compounds can be tested, using ‘blind’ studies if necessary. We receive compounds and test them in the GreenScreen HC assay in accordance with our standard protocols. We usually request a 10 mg pre-weighed sample of each compound, from which we will test the compound over 9 serial dilutions from a maximum concentration of typically 1 mg/ml, usually limited by solubility. We will also run a single repeat test if the concentration range initially chosen shows excessive cytotoxicity, compound precipitation or autofluorescence, in order to obtain an unambiguous result. Upon completion of the testing we will provide a report that will give you a summary of the assay features, details of the protocol performed and discussion of the results. We would aim to complete the testing in approximately 2 weeks from receipt of compound. For more details see: Outsourc
