Cardiovascular Risk Factor Biomarker Testing in Rodents
The cardiovascular system is a critical component of overall health. Understanding and quantifying biomarkers that indicate risk factors for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) can significantly improve the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention strategies for these conditions. In the context of preclinical research, especially within clinical & healthcare testing, rodent models play an indispensable role.
Cardiovascular Risk Factor Biomarker Testing in Rodents involves a comprehensive analysis of various biomarkers to assess the risk factors associated with CVD. These biomarkers can include cholesterol levels (low-density lipoprotein - LDL and high-density lipoprotein - HDL), triglycerides, inflammatory markers like C-reactive protein (CRP), and others that indicate oxidative stress.
Our testing service utilizes advanced analytical techniques tailored to rodent models. This includes the use of liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) for lipid profiling and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) for assessing inflammatory markers. The specimens collected from rodents undergo rigorous preparation processes, ensuring accurate and reliable data.
Compliance with international standards is paramount in our service offering. We adhere to ISO 17025 and follow the recommendations of the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI). Our testing protocols are designed to meet regulatory requirements for preclinical research in healthcare and pharmaceutical industries.
| Standard | Description |
