Safety services
B'SYS performs tests to identify drug interactions with cardiac ion channels that act as target for QT prolongation.

Central nervous safety tests involve targets that are involved in addiction and neurotoxicity. B'SYS conducts assays to determine single concentration activities or concentration response relationships of test compounds.

  • Cardiac ion channel panel for identification and assessment of drugs that alter the QT interval
  • Cardiomyocyte action potential assays
  • Central nervous system panel for the identification of sedative, addictive or neurotoxic potential of test compounds.
  • Cardiotoxicity Screening (MEA, impedance)
