In Vitro Imaging and Testing
The role of biopharmaceutical analysis has grown rapidly in the past 30 years, driven by the discovery of new molecules and innovative therapies. However, drug form and formulation can both impact on release and absorption, and scientists need new ways to understand and predict these effects. Pion is a true pioneer in in vitro drug testing, with an innovative and ever-growing range of specialist instruments.

What Is In Vitro Testing and Imaging?
In vivo imaging is a non-invasive technique used to peer deep into the internal systems of living organisms for diagnostic or research processes. By using special analytical instruments, researchers can analyze complex biological processes in plants, animals, or humans.
In vitro imaging can provide valuable insights for preclinical studies. From improving treatment response to assessing product safety, In vitro make the process of bringing a new pharmaceutical drug to the market faster and easier.
Advantages of In Vitro Imaging Systems
In vitro imaging provides a comprehensive picture of the biological effects of a drug or treatment. The organism is kept alive meaning future analysis can be performed on the same subject. In addition, real-time biological changes can be detected and followed. In vitro imaging also involves a generally undisturbed process which helps in producing more accurate results.
In Vivo vs In Vitro
The term ‘in vivo’ refers to a test, study, or procedure that is performed within a living organism while “in vitro” describes activity that is done outside of a living organism.
In vivo pharmacology is the study of the biological effects of a compound on an organism. It can help researchers assess how diseases or tissues will respond to a certain drug.
