The company’s Bengaluru facility will be the first in India to be equipped with Agilent’s state-of-the-art RapidFire

Jubilant Biosys announced the addition of Agilent Technologies’ RapidFire/ MS screening technology to its integrated drug discovery platform.

RapidFire is a robust solid phase extraction technology that enables fast label-free detection of native compounds by mass spectrometry in a wide range of in vitro assays, DMPK/ ADME studies, hit/ lead applications for drug discovery across a broad spectrum of therapeutic areas and also for screening difficult targets that are not amenable to labelled assays. Jubilant Biosys’s Bengaluru facility will be the first in India to be equipped with Agilent’s state-of-the-art RapidFire.
