Analiza
Private Company
Total funding raised: $7.8M
Overview
Analiza is a long-established, private contract research organization (CRO) focused exclusively on the early drug discovery phase. The company provides critical analytical services, including solubility, logD/logP, pKa, and in-vitro ADME assays, which are essential for screening and optimizing lead compounds. With nearly three decades of operation, Analiza has built a reputation for rapid turnaround, methodological expertise, and serving a diverse client base from large pharma to academic labs. Its business model is purely service-based, generating revenue from analytical testing rather than developing its own therapeutic pipeline.
Technology Platform
Suite of miniaturized, automated, gold-standard analytical assays for physicochemical property profiling (solubility, logD/logP, pKa) and in-vitro ADME screening (microsomal/plasma stability, PAMPA). Utilizes advanced instrumentation like UPLC/HPLC and LC-QTOFMS.

Competitive Landscape
Analiza competes in the niche segment of early-discovery analytical CROs. Key competitors include other specialized providers like Cyprotex (part of Evotec), Absorption Systems, and the early-stage service divisions of larger CROs such as Charles River Laboratories and Labcorp. Its competitive advantage lies in its deep focus, methodological expertise, fast turnaround, and reputation built over nearly three decades.
