Kidney Diseases Animal Models

In addition to our in vitro assays , we validate your molecules efficacy on CKD or AKI in vivo models via a biochemical, molecular and physiological characterization of kidney function.
Take advantage from our expertise in measuring the Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) using transdermal technology for sensitive and non-invasive kidney function measurement during treatment protocol.

Characteristics of our in vivo services:

  • Assessment of early disease markers
  • High precision in tissue analyses
  • Reduction of animal testing duration
  • Ready-to-test or customized
