Dunedin-based InsituGen is revolutionising steroid hormone testing with its proprietary firstFlagX bioassay technology, offering precise and comprehensive detection of androgenic and estrogenic activity. Lab Supply has been proud to support InsituGen’s journey from its earliest stages. Since Adam first connected with Alison during the initial setup of InsituGen, Lab Supply has been there to supply the essential tools and resources needed for their groundbreaking research. Now, as InsituGen officially launches its testing services, we’re excited to see this innovative local company expanding its impact on the global scientific community.

InsituGen’s multi-patented firstFlagX bioassay provides complete detection of androgen or estrogen bioactivity from both known and unknown compounds. Unlike traditional methods, their cell-free bioassays replicate natural biological pathways, allowing for fast, accurate, and biologically relevant results. This technology has already proven invaluable across a wide range of applications, from testing human supplements and hygiene products for contamination to assessing environmental samples for harmful compounds.

A Range of Testing Applications
InsituGen’s firstFlagX bioassay is versatile and adaptable, suitable for testing various sample types such as:
•    Human supplements to screen for unintended contamination or to explore the mechanism of action in androgen bioactivity.
•    Freshwater samples to detect contamination with estrogenic or androgenic compounds, ensuring environmental health.
•    Clinical samples to assess hormone activity in medical research, such as evaluating the effectiveness of cancer drugs.

These applications are just the beginning, as InsituGen continues to refine their services to meet the needs of industries such as healthcare, sports, and environmental protection.

Lab Supply’s Long-standing Support
From the beginning, Lab Supply has provided the equipment and resources that have helped InsituGen turn innovative ideas into reality. We are thrilled to see their continued success and impact as they launch their testing services and elevate bioassay technology to new heights.

We look forward to witnessing how InsituGen’s innovative solutions will continue advancing healthcare, environmental monitoring, and beyond.
