Product news

Gentronix is committed to helping the pharmaceutical and related sectors reduce late-stage attrition by offering accurate and automatable tests for early liability screening by providing a wide range of Predictive toxicology and ADME assays.

GreenScreen products are cell based assays for use in genetic toxicity screening using simple, rapid and high-throughput protocols. GreenScreen is designed for use much earlier in drug discovery than the standard test battery for genotoxicity, and provides positive results that are more accurately predictive of in vivo risk than the current in vitro mammalian assays. Gentronix recently introduced BlueScreen HC to provide access to its technology with a luminescent readout.

Currently over 70 companies in 15 countries are using GreenScreen HC data as part of their genotoxicity profiling strategy in drug discovery.

Summary:
• Most accurate genotoxicity screening tests available
Unique combination of high specificity and high sensitivity for genotoxic carcinogens
• Simple, robust and fast protocol
Microplate based assay with results in 48 hours using standard lab equipment
• Conservative use of compound
Enables earlier screening in drug discovery and hence more effective use of resources
• Additional genotoxicology follow up available: in vitro MNT and COMET.
• Predictive Toxicology services.
Mitochondiral Toxicity, CaCo-2, Cyp interaction, and many others

High-Throughput ScreeningHigh-throughput screening (HTS) is an automated drug discovery technique for identification of active compounds against a compound library. Use HTS readers and integrated assay preparation / analysis workstations to screen your compounds. Identify active compounds against various HTS libraries, including membranes, proteins and peptides and HTS cell lines. Find the best high-throughput screening products in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.High-Content ScreeningHigh-content screening (HCS), also known as high-content analysis (HCA), is a high-throughput technique used in drug discovery to identify substances that alter the phenotype of cells. HCS uses fluorescent microscopic imaging and automated image analysis to investigate cellular events such as apoptosis, cell viability, GPCR activation, oxide production, neurite outgrowth, and cell signaling.
