In vivo Drug Delivery Monitoring

In Vivo Imaging of Drug Delivery & Clearance at Target Cells & Tissues

IVIM Technology’s contract R&D service provides a direct imaging analysis of delivery to target tissue and cells, efficacy, and mode of action (MOA) of new therapeutic candidates in microscopic cellular-level in various preclinical model of human disease.

Monitoring of Drug Delivery & Clearance in Target Tissues Delivery and clearance of fluorescently labeled novel therapeutic candidates
  • • Fluorescently labeled therapeutics : Antibody, protein, peptide, exosome, nanoparticle, cell, gene, plasmid, small molecules, etc.
Biodistribution of novel anti-tumor therapeutic candidates and commercial anti-tumor drugs in tumor and other tissues
  • • Target tissue : Primary tumor tissue, surrounding microenvironment, major site of tumor metastasis (lymph node, liver, lung, brain, etc.)
  • • Anti-tumor therapeutics : Cytotoxic drugs, anti-angiogenic drugs, etc.
