OUR HISTORY

high-quality bioanalytical support

Founded in the late 1990s, Agilex Biolabs was established to fill a critical need in Australia for high-quality bioanalytical support in clinical research. Starting as a modest analytical laboratory in Adelaide, the company rapidly gained recognition for its scientific expertise and regulatory compliance.

From its early days, Agilex invested heavily in liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) technologies. This foundational commitment to advanced instrumentation set the stage for its emergence as a premier provider of bioanalytical services across therapeutic areas, including oncology, neurology, infectious disease, and metabolic disorders.

As the demand for biologics and targeted therapies grew, Agilex expanded into ligand-binding assays and immunoassays. The laboratory adopted new technologies including ELISA, MSD, Gyrolab, and more recently, high-sensitivity platforms like Simoa to meet the increasingly complex demands of biopharma R&D.

OUR HISTORY

Data integrity and Quality Assurance

Key expansions in our bioanalytical capabilities have included:

  • 2000s: Establishment of GLP and GCP-compliant LC-MS/MS services
  • 2010s: Addition of immunoassay platforms to support large molecule analysis
  • 2019: Major facility expansion and automation upgrades for high-throughput capacity
  • 2020–2022: Onboarding of cutting-edge ultra-sensitive detection platforms and method validations for biosimilars and gene therapy trials
  • 2025: The opening of Agilex Brisbane Bioanalytical lab, which further expanded Agilex’s flow cytometry and PBMC isolation capabilities to another major Australian city.

Agilex Biolabs now supports full PK, immunogenicity, biomarker, and pharmacodynamic assessments, enabling data-driven decision-making from first-in-human studies to late-phase trials.

SERVICE GROWTH

Expansion into Toxicology Services

In 2021, Agilex Biolabs strategically expanded its offerings to include GLP-compliant toxicology services through the acquisition of TetraQ, a leader in Australian preclinical safety testing. This move allowed Agilex to offer end-to-end support across the drug development continuum—from early toxicology through clinical bioanalysis.

The toxicology division provides comprehensive services including:

  • Preclinical PK studies
  • Acute, subchronic, and chronic GLP toxicology studies
  • Carcinogenicity

Through our Global Partners

  • Large animal GLP toxicology studies
  • Histopathology and clinical pathology
  • Regulatory consulting and study design support

This addition has allowed Agilex to integrate nonclinical and clinical data generation under one roof, delivering time-saving and cost-efficient benefits to clients navigating regulatory pathways worldwide.
