How does Perceptive Discovery deliver integrated preclinical imaging solutions?

Perceptive Discovery offers a full spectrum of preclinical imaging services—from radiochemistry and multi-modality in vivo imaging to advanced image analysis and regulatory-ready reporting. With 15+ years of experience, support for 3,000+ studies, and 8 preclinical labs, we deliver high-fidelity data and actionable insights to accelerate your R&D decisions.

Which preclinical imaging modalities and species models are utilized?

Our preclinical imaging portfolio spans PET, SPECT, MRI, CT, ultrasound, optical (bioluminescence, fluorescence), cryotomography, as well as autoradiography, microautoradiography, flow cytometry (FACS), radioligand binding assays, and more. We work across a range of models from small rodents to non-human primates (NHPs) to ensure translational relevance.

What radiochemistry capabilities support preclinical translational and imaging?

We provide expert radiochemistry services vital for PET and SPECT-based evaluations covering radiolabeling, immunoreactivity method development, biodistribution, and dosimetry. Our single-site operations span 900+ radiolabeled agents, 900+ preclinical RLT studies, and 50+ dosimetry studies, fueling dependable translational outcomes.

How does Perceptive support therapeutic development across key areas?

We specialize in high impact therapeutic areas, including neuroscience, with expertise in biomarker development, target engagement, neuroinflammation, and PK/PD; oncology, with capabilities in tumor imaging, biodistribution, and efficacy in preclinical models; and radiopharmaceutical therapy and theranostics, where we provide radiochemistry, imaging, biodistribution, and dosimetry support across alpha, beta, and gamma emitters. Together, these offerings help de-risk discovery and early-phase translation with robust, pharma-ready data.

Can preclinical imaging studies be tailored to specific program needs?

We engage sponsors directly to develop custom experimental designs optimizing tracer selection, study endpoints, and imaging workflows tailored to your therapeutic target or modality of interest. Our team ensures flawless execution and insightful interpretation to support informed, translational decisions.

Tracer Management and Distribution

Given their limited half-lives, radiotracers require precise coordination to ensure every dose arrives when and where it’s needed. For over a decade, sponsors have relied on Perceptive to oversee the complex logistics required for tracer management.

Tracer Management and Distribution

Investigational Tracer Services

Manage oversight of tracer supply between CDMO and imaging center Training and oversight of dose orders Coordinate transportation through qualified vendor Dose management tool support Contractual agreements and close communications that foster data sharing between pharma/biotech and CDMOs

Commercial Tracer Services

Establish SOWs/contracts/ communication plans with vendors Collect appropriate licensing and country-specific documents, including RAM licensing Escalate sponsor concerns, hold scheduled meetings with vendors

Site Selection and Onboarding

We routinely partner with sponsors to provide guidance on site selection and to confirm tracer feasibility and align onboarding requirements to tracer access considerations. This is especially important with investigational tracers as many are limited for use in certain geographic regions.

Before your trial begins, Perceptive can help you determine regional tracer availability to ensure the sites you select are qualified to participate based on their ability to receive and use your tracers of interest.
