Frequently Asked Questions
What does TransPharm Preclinical Solutions specialize in?
We are a contract research organization focused exclusively on microbiology and preclinical infectious disease. We perform efficacy testing of antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals, and antiparasitic compounds using in vitro assays and in vivo infection models.
How long does a typical study take?
Timelines depend on the assay or model and the scope of your program. In vitro susceptibility testing is generally fast; in vivo studies vary by model and endpoints. We provide a clear timeline with every quote and keep you updated throughout.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. We stand behind the quality of our work and will repeat any experiment that does not meet our scientific standards. Defensible, reliable data is the entire goal of what we do.
Can you develop a model that isn't listed?
Frequently. We routinely adapt existing models or develop new ones around a client’s specific compound, target organism, and endpoints. If you don’t see what you need, ask us.
Can you test against resistant or specific strains?
Yes. Our maintained library includes multidrug-resistant clinical isolates, and we can source specific strains or work with isolates you provide.
Are you accredited?
Our facility is AAALAC-accredited, reflecting our commitment to humane and responsible animal care. We are also a verified provider on Science Exchange and Scientist.com.
