BASi has opened its new Discovery Center at its corporate headquarters in the Purdue Research Park of West Lafayette, IN. The facility is designed to provide services to evaluate new compounds in the earliest stages of development.

The lab features BASi’s Culex automated in vivo sampling system, which provides multiple streams of data from stress-reduced subjects and allows for rapid decisions based on more accurate information, according to the company. The facility has 4,800 sq. ft. of dedicated research space with environmental systems to maintain and monitor lab conditions.

"Our unique discovery in vivo service offers a high value option for our discovery customers in generating tight, reliable data, which makes for better predictive decisions," said John Devine, vice president of non-clinical services. “Clients will get faster study and sample analysis turnaround because of our in-house bioanalytical facilities. It also reduces sample storage and shipping costs."
