Drug discovery and toxicology

Using cellular bioenergetics to advance drug discovery pipelines and mitochondrial toxicity

Measurements of real-time cellular bioenergetics using Extracellular Flux (XF) analysis have revolutionised cell metabolism research over the past decade. With recent developments in technology, cellular bioenergetics provides a more sensitive, comprehensive and mechanistic approach for assessing cellular metabolism and mitochondrial toxicity in cells and tissues. At Biocell Energetics, we have over 12 years’ experience probing cellular bioenergetics to profile cells metabolically in real-time using XF analysis. By combining experience with technical know-how, we are able to offer bioenergetic assay services to advance cellular metabolism research in early drug discovery, mitochondrial safety toxicology and environmental cellular toxicity.
