PureHoney Technologies

PureHoney Technologies is a contract research organization that helps pharmaceutical and biotech discovery teams accelerate drug discovery research by enabling intractable targets. Founded by the original developers of the RapidFire MS instrumentation, PureHoney Tech uses the high-throughput mass spectrometry platform to perform analyses of challenging analytes across a broad range of therapeutic areas.

PureHoney Tech applies mass spectrometry-based screening to a wide range of targets, including those with substrates such as lipids, fatty acids, phospholipids, steroids, prostaglandins, and other compounds not generally amenable to conventional screening techniques. They offer a broad range of early stage services including: enzymology and characterization of targets, custom HTS assay development, hit identification, fragment-based screening, hit validation, SAR screening and in vitro ADME sample screening.

PureHoney Technologies headquarters and screening laboratories are located in Acton, Massachusetts.
