Our Good Laboratory Practice (GLP)-compliant laboratory offers services for drug toxicology, drug efficacy, drug discovery and newmedicine development, specifically supporting preclinical investigationwith in vitro and in vivo services including anti-cancer compound screening, IC 50 assays, stable-cell line engineering, over 80 validated xenograft models, gene function and expression analysis, in-vivo RNAi and tissue-targeted siRNA delivery, transient and stable transfections of cell lines, engineering of RNAi knockdown cell- lines, microfluidics-based liposome encapsulation, and cell-based assay development. Altogen Labs also offers bioremediation biotechnology products and services. Bioremediation is the process of introducing naturally occurring biomatter, in the form of microbial organisms, fungi, plants, and their endogenous biomolecules, into a contaminated site as a treatment to restore the environment to a less toxic or non-toxic state 1 . Our team of scientists has developed scalable, patent-pending bioremediation products, comprised of bacterial strains optimized for hydrocarbon degradation, to be utilized for restoration of sites contaminated with a wide range of pollutants including crude oil, PAHs, pesticides, acetone, benzene, and other environmental toxins emanating from industrial or chemical wastes and spills. Altogen Labs offers instant quotes, comprehensive service packages, and highly competitive pricing. We assure our clients that our high-quality products and services will be upheld by our technical support and quality control teams.
