Glucose metabolism plays a critical role in healthy aging. Dysregulation of glucose homeostasis is closely linked to a variety of age-associated diseases, such as type 2 diabetes and neurodegenerative disorders. Glucose level analysis is essential for gaining insights into metabolic health, insulin sensitivity, and evaluating the risk of age-related metabolic diseases.

CD BioSciences provides robust and reliable glucose level analysis services, enabling our clients to study the dynamics of glucose metabolism during aging.
Sample Preparation and Requirements
Depending on the animal model and the specific research goals, we provide detailed guidance on optimal sample collection strategies, including recommendations on the timing of sample collection, the choice of biological matrices (e.g., blood, tissue, urine), and the appropriate sample handling techniques to preserve sample integrity.
Once the samples have been collected, our team helps clients through the necessary pre-processing steps to ensure the integrity of the glucose-related analytes. We support clients in centrifugation, aliquoting, and proper storage implementation to prevent unwanted changes in glucose levels or related metabolites.
Core Glucose Level Analysis Services
CD BioSciences offers a comprehensive suite of glucose level analysis services to support aging research.
Fasting glucose measurement services
Fasting glucose levels are a fundamental metric in aging research, reflecting basal glucose regulation and overall metabolic health. Our company offers glucose analysis services using advanced techniques, such as enzymatic colorimetric assays and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), to quantify fasting glucose levels in a variety of biological samples. By determining fasting glucose levels in animal models, we can help clients identify age-related changes in glucose homeostasis and metabolic function.
Postprandial glucose measurement services
By measuring glucose levels at various time points after a standardized diet or glucose challenge in aging animal models, we can generate detailed glucose response curves. Our data can help clients understand the impact of aging on glucose metabolism and insulin resistance.
Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) services
We offer continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) services to enable a comprehensive assessment of glucose dynamics in animal models for aging research. Utilizing implantable glucose sensors, we provide clients with detailed real-time glucose profiles, capturing fluctuations, diurnal patterns, and other dynamic aspects of glucose regulation over extended periods.
Our Tools for Glucose Level Analysis Services
We employ a range of analytical techniques to offer high-quality glucose level analysis services, including:
- Automatic blood glucose analyzers for high-throughput, accurate glucose measurements.
- Continuous glucose monitoring systems for real-time glucose profiling.
- LC-MS platforms for glucose metabolism assessments.
