Pinpoint Applications Research Center

• • Toxicology & TDM (Therapeutic Drug Monitoring): Development of custom methods for the measurement and evaluation of therapeutic and toxicological compounds.
  • Emerging Assays: Design and analytical development of new testing methodologies to support research for emerging drugs of abuse, biomarkers, and clinical questions.

*Methods developed must be independently validated and implemented by a qualified laboratory in accordance with applicable regulatory and accreditation requirements. Development of method is for research use only (RUO) and not intended for clinical diagnosis or treatment.

• Validation Planning: Providing fully developed and optimized methods that significantly accelerate the validation process and reduce implementation risk.

• Workflow Optimization: Implementing ToxBox® consumables with JustGo™ Suspended State™ workflows greatly decrease the time between sample processing and report generation.

• Validation Reagent Packages: Custom designed reagent packages that include pre-formatted containing reference materials in preformatted 96-well plates tailored to your method, extraction supplies, chromatography supplies, and ancillary laboratory consumables. 

• Custom Applications: Developing specialized methods tailored to unique laboratory requirements, including transitioning labs into new markets – bio-surveillance, wastewater monitoring, clinical research, or environmental applications.

• • Scientist-to-Scientist Training: Peer-to-peer coaching delivered by scientists trained in ISO 17025 & CLIA/CAP regulations who understand the rigors of a high-volume production environment and the importance of compliance. 

  • Workflow Design & Best Practices: Assisting laboratories in the transition from fragmented methods to streamlined automation, instilling analyst confidence before any technology is transferred to the client site.

Our goal is to leave your laboratory staff well equipped to confidently execute validations and sustain ongoing operations without reliance on outside support. 

High case volumes, staffing shortages, and fragmented, time-constraining workflows create significant bottlenecks that delay the reporting of critical results.

Most laboratories lack the time and R&D resources to expand their testing panels to add a new matrix (urine, blood, oral fluids), expand their existing panels or identify emerging threats from Novel Psychoactive Substances (NPS).

PARC helps you future-proof your lab by establishing foundational methods that your lab can expand or change quickly. We enable you to broaden your analyte coverage and even enter new markets, providing you with custom methods that meet your needs and scale with your operations.

Labs often have powerful analytical equipment that sits idle because method validation is a grueling, time-consuming process that often requires expensive outside resources, or in-house resource strained expertise that stalls a lab’s ability to bring new, robust methods online.

Why start from scratch? PARC provides pre-developed and pre-tested methods that make the validation process significantly faster and more reliable. We take on the R&D phase of the project while building tools specific to your workflow so you can deploy or upgrade to new technology with minimal implementation risk.

Laboratory teams, especially younger or transitioning staffs, may not have the deep technical knowledge required to optimize complex mass spectrometry workflows or learn a new technology.

Gain direct, scientist-to-scientist access to our expert analysts. Our team consists of tenured scientists trained in ISO 17025 and CLIA regulations provide in-person training to instill confidence in your analysts to operate existing or new technology in your facility.

Many laboratories operate on  instrumentation that is either underutilized or aging equipment that cannot support the high throughput demands of modern testing.

We specialize in converting standard instrumentation into high-throughput automated systems, making the most out of expensive capital equipment. Pragmatic method designs and the utilization of tools like the ToxBox® JustGo™ Analytical Plates consisting of pre- plated reagents minimize administrative burdens and streamline your entire laboratory workflows from sample to report.

Method validation is often time consuming, expensive, and usually takes time away from processing cases. This results in larger backlogs and increased turnaround times. Additionally, new or young staff may lack the deep technical knowledge required to optimize complex mass spectrometry workflows or master new technology on site.
