Bioanalysis Drug Conjugates

  • Antibody-drug conjugate (ADC)
    A targeted therapeutic combining a monoclonal antibody with a cytotoxic drug, enabling precise delivery to specific cells such as cancer cells.

  • Antibody-oligonucleotide conjugate (AOC)

  • A fusion of an antibody and an oligonucleotide that directs nucleic acid-based therapies to specific tissues or cells.

  • Peptide or polymer-drug conjugate (PDC)
    A drug linked to a peptide or polymer to enhance stability, solubility, or targeted delivery of therapeutic agents.

  • Lipid nanoparticle (LNP/LDC)
    Anano-scale delivery system using lipid-based carriers to transport nucleic acids or drugs across cell membranes, commonly used in mRNA therapies.

  • Aptamers
    Short, single-stranded DNA or RNA molecules that fold into unique shapes to bind specific targets with high affinity, offering a synthetic alternative to antibodies for therapeutic or diagnostic use.
