Caltag Medsystems is the European distributor of BioVision, a manufacturer of assay kits, small molecule chemicals, proteins and antibodies.
These products are suitable for use in applications such as drug discovery, toxicity studies, drug metabolism and pharmacokinetic assays, drug-drug interaction studies, inhibitor or ligand screening, structure-activity relation (SAR) experiments.
The pharmacological activity of a compound within a living organism is influenced by biological mechanisms controlling absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) of the molecule. Studying these mechanisms is essential in determining the overall performance and safety of a novel drug.
