FDA Requirements:
The CacoReady Assay Kit meets the four evaluation results required by the FDA, found here, for compounds evaluated from data generated by the CacoReady kits. These requirements are as follows:
- Permeability Assay
- P-gp (P-glycoprotein) interactions
- BCRP (Breast Cancer Resistance Protein) interactions
- Toxicology Studies
Benefits:
- The most important benefit is, after incubation, the Assay Kits are ready to assay with your compounds on day 22 of differentiation giving reproducible results on a consistent timeline.
- A primary benefit of CacoReady is that it is budget-friendly. The luxury of having all of the cell production management done offsite will save headaches, time, and money. Focus on your research, not the logistics.
- Our on-demand ordering system allows you to schedule everything ahead of time so it fits your testing schedule without worrying about hiccups.
- The Assay Kit is user-friendly so one does not have to deal with learning a whole new skill.
- CacoReady is easy to handle so you won’t need special equipment or skilled operators saving money on the cost of automation.

FAQ:
What are the expected outcomes for the CacoReady Kits?
CacoReady allows conducting permeability assays (apical to basal or basal to apical) of established or unknown compounds to predict their absorption and interaction with membrane-associated proteins (MDR1-Pgp and BCRP)
Is the Assay Kit shipped at room temperature?
Yes – Since these kits utilize ReadyCell’s Proprietary shipping medium, these Assay Kits are shipped at room temperature anywhere in the world.
How long does shipping take?
These Cell-Based Assay Kits are made-to-order. All new orders are prepared on the following Monday, then shipped 14 days later, and received on day 16 or 17.
How do I use a CacoReady Assay Kit to assess a drug?
To use an Assay Kit with rapid Caco-2 in-vitro to assess a drug’s ability to cross the intestinal epithelium, first, you need to obtain the Cell-Based Assay, which comes with 24 or 96 insert-integrated permeable supports. They are seeded with differentiated and polarized Caco-2 barriers on polycarbonate microporous filters.
Next, you will prepare the drug sample and add it to the Assay Kit. The drug will then interact with the Caco-2 barriers and cross the intestinal epithelium, allowing for Cell Permeability Testing.
The kit provides four evaluation results pertaining to the compounds evaluated from data generated by the CacoReady kits, which the FDA requires: permeability assay, P-gp interactions, BCRP interactions, and toxicology studies.
After incubation, the Assay Kits are ready to assay with your compounds on day twenty-two. The results are highly reproducible, and the assay kit is user-friendly and easy to handle, making it adaptable to automation.
By using the Cell-Based Assay Kit, you can evaluate the oral absorption efficiency, oral bioavailability, oral toxicity, and mechanisms involved in oral and intestinal absorption of the drug. The Assay Kit is suitable for research on new delivery systems and studies of drug transporters and drug-drug interaction.
What are the three types of Assay Kit?
There are three main types of Assay Kits: colorimetric, fluorometric, and luminescent.
Colorimetric assays use a color change to indicate the presence of the molecule of interest, while fluorometric assays use fluorescence to detect the molecule.
Luminescent assays, on the other hand, use light emission to measure the amount of the molecule.
No matter which type of assay you need, it’s important to choose a high-quality Assay Kit that provides accurate and reproducible results. At [Company Name], we offer a wide range of Assay Kits for various applications, including drug discovery, disease research, and more.

What is an Assay Kit?
An Assay Kit is a laboratory tool used to detect and quantify a specific biological, chemical, or physical property in a sample. Assay Kits are commonly used in research and diagnostics to identify and measure analytes, such as proteins, nucleic acids, or small molecules. The Assay Kit typically includes a set of reagents, instructions, and standards that allow researchers to perform the assay with accuracy and precision. The CacoReady is a Cell-Based Assay designed specifically for testing drug transporter events.
