Analytical Services for

Antibody-Drug Conjugates

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are transforming oncology with their potential for targeted, less toxic cancer treatments. However, their complex structure—combining biological and chemical components—poses significant challenges in analytical testing and regulatory compliance. Solvias addresses these challenges with comprehensive analytical capabilities, leveraging our deep expertise, experience, and state-of-the-art technology to keep your development on schedule and within budget.
