Comet Assay Studies
The Comet Assay is one of the fastest and most flexible resources available for assessing potential health risks. Able to detect multipe forms of DNA damage in almost any cell type and under a variety of exposure conditions, safety testing with the comet assay requires critical assessment and customization of the study design to ensure the quality and defendability of the data.
Helix3 currently provides comet assay and combined comet / micronucleus assay studies evaluating DNA damage in the following tissues.
Liver Stomach Adrenals Sperm
Kidney Duodenum Hypothalamus Ovary
Spleen Colon Thyroid Prostate
Blood Cecum Pituitary Mammary
Lung Ileum Pineal Uterus
B.Marrow Bladder Pancreas Testis
To faciltate the integration of the comet assay into ongoing toxicology or clinical studies, Helix3 also offers mobile comet laboratory and sample analysis services.
Screening / Mechanistic Studies
To evaluate the DNA reactivity and/or mode of action of test compounds, impurities, metabolites and/or degradation products, Helix3 designs and conducts a variety of non-standard studies to support drug development and safety testing requirements.
Assay Development
Helix3 continuously strives to develop new assays and techniques to enhance the understanding of standard test results and improve the efficacy of safety testing as new classes of compounds are developed. Examples of our successes are currently incorporated in our standard protocols and services.
