Support for CROs
Promega has partnered with over 500 contract research organizations (CROs) globally to help them serve their clients better. CROs currently use Promega assays for early-stage drug discovery, bioanalytical testing, genomic analysis and many other applications.
Why Partner with Promega?
Working with Us
Most Promega products do not have restrictions for commercial use; however, some are covered by a limited-use label license (LULL) that precludes commercial use. If you are interested in using these products in fee-for-service work, please contact us.
CRO Case Study
Solutions for Small Molecule Drug Discovery
Target Identification
Chemoproteomic Method for On- and Off-Target Identification: This novel platform uses a photoreactive cleavable chloroalkane tag that can be attached to bioactive compounds. The tagged compounds, bound to their respective cellular targets, can then be isolated for identification by mass spectrometry.
Target Validation
NanoBRET™ Target Engagement Assays: Putative targets identified by mass spectrometry can be readily verified using bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET). By exchanging the chloroalkane tag for a fluorophore, direct binding to the targets can be revealed through proximity of the fluorophore to a small NanoLuc® luciferase molecule, which is genetically fused to the putative target.
High-Throughput Screening
Accelerate your small molecule drug discovery process with a broad portfolio of high throughput-compatible biochemical and cell-based assays.
Lead Optimization and Validation
Easy to use assays provide a comprehensive assessment of cell health state in multiple model systems and sample types, including 3D microtissues, primary cells, and stem cells. Whether your target of interest is a kinase, GPCR or a disease-relevant signaling pathway, our sensitive, target-specific assays for lead compound optimization and validation can help.
