Antisense Oligonucleotide Quantitation ― Accurate, Robust and Sensitive.
Regulated bioanalytical development for the analysis of antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) is showing promise in therapeutic applications for a number of diseases.
From preclinical to clinical, Altasciences has significant expertise in supporting robust and sensitive bioanalytical assays that minimize interference, for accurate quantification of ASOs in complex biological tissues.
In the last couple of years, our bioanalytical scientific experts have developed close to 100 assays of various matrices, supported close to 100 preclinical and clinical studies at various stages, and analyzed over 15,000 samples in oligonucleotide quantitation.
Speak with an expert today to ensure you are provided with the best bioanalytical techniques for your ASO drug development program.

The Power of Microsampling in Preclinical Research
As an alternative to traditional venipuncture, blood microsampling represents a less invasive and simplified collection technique, resulting in numerous benefits for preclinical and clinical studies alike.
Microsampling in safety testing supports Altasciences’ commitment to the 3Rs: replace, reduce, and refine experimental animal use. It also provides other advantages, such as:
- Accelerated animal recovery due to rapid blood collection
- Direct correlation of study findings with PD and toxicological effects given the use of main study animals
- Less variability in PK profiles when derived from individual animals versus composite profiling
- Collection of additional PK/TK timepoints
- Biomarkers and metabolites detection that aids interpretation of toxicological effect
- Reduced animal numbers saves on costs and time

Expertise to Support the Approval of your 505(b)(2) or Hybrid Drug Submissions
A generic molecule with a different route of administration, format, strength, or indication from the original reference product requires re-approval for market authorization, partly based on data from the original medicine, and partly on data from new clinical trials on the modified version.
Consult The Altascientist for a review of the requirements for such approval, including a case study outlining three key studies we conducted for a 505(b)(2):
Altasciences ensures a seamless process for your 505(b)(2) or Hybrid medicine submissions, with integrated manufacturing, bioanalysis and comprehensive research support services that can expedite your clinical trials.
