In vitro

In vitro assay design and development to accelerate projects at every stage of the drug discovery pipeline.

Our Services

Our experienced team of scientists are experts in in vitro assay design and development. We work closely with other teams at RxCelerate throughout all phases of the drug discovery pipeline, striving to deliver bespoke and cost-effective experimental solutions with data-rich endpoints.

Our Approach

We approach each project from first principles, working as a collaborative partner with clients’ to understand their specific scientific goals.

Our projects begin with a detailed proposal, following an extensive review of the scientific literature. Experimental programmes are carefully planned to maximise endpoints and minimise cost and time. Close contact with the client is maintained throughout and key data is shared in real time, which allows for a flexible approach in response to experimental outcomes.

What We Do

RxCelerate specialises in the development of bespoke in vitro assays, built from first principles around your target, your biology and your development questions. This focus on customised assay design is where we add the greatest value and why clients trust us to deliver high quality data for complex and strategically important programmes.

Human Tissue Licence Holders

RxCelerate is regulated and licensed by the Human Tissue Authority (HTA), we can therefore support client projects through:

  • A database of healthy human donors.
  • A dedicated team of trained phlebotomists.
  • The generation of blood derived products (e.g. plasma and serum) for use in in vitro assays.
  • The isolation of peripheral blood cells for use in functional assays.

Our in vitro team input at all stage of the drug discovery pipeline, feeding into the integrated approach of RxCelerate:

  • Research and discovery
  • Target validation and lead optimisation
  • Screening and profiling
  • Mechanism of action
  • Pre-clinical and clinical sample analyses
