WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
BASi (Bioanalytical Systems, Inc.) (BASI) today announced that it is collaborating with Data Sciences International (DSI), a biomedical research company focused on preclinical systems physiology and pharmacology, to conduct a first-of-its-kind study combining BASis Culex-L automated sampling system with DSIs newest large animal telemetry technology, PhysioTel Digital.
In this pivotal study, BASis Culex-L automated in vivo sampling system will simultaneously collect biological samples at pre-programmed intervals while DSI telemetry devices will collect heart rate, blood pressure and other cardiovascular information. Previously, gathering all of these types of data required two separate experiments and only discontinuous data collection was possible.
By combining Culex with telemetry, the automated blood sampling and telemetry (ABST) system will reduce costs, the number of test subjects, subject stress levels, and deliver better data, which will lead to better decisions, said Jacqueline M. Lemke, interim president & CEO and CFO of BASi. This study lays the groundwork for additional safety pharmacology studies that further complement BASis long-established and well-respected CRO services expertise.
Were responding to customers requests for more and better pharmacokinetic data. We know how important these data are for early decision-making in the drug discovery process. Combining DSIs telemetry with BASis automation is a natural fit, said Dr. Dusty Sarazan, Vice President and CSO of DSI.
