WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--X-Chem, the industry-leading provider of DNA-encoded library (DEL)-based discovery services, today announced the global launch of its OpenDEX solution. This new offering provides flexible access to the high-quality libraries, experienced DEL operators and powerful informatic tools that make up the X-Chem discovery platform.
Pharmaceutical, biotech and academic researchers can now unlock exponential possibilities in their small molecule drug discovery programs. OpenDEX gives X-Chem’s clients open access to the full scope of the company’s DEL screening output, allowing them to rapidly prioritize efforts on the most promising, novel and attractive compounds. When coupled with X-Chem’s high-quality synthetic chemistry, hit-to-lead and lead optimization medicinal chemistry services, OpenDEX becomes the method of choice for rapid lead generation with an increased probability of success.
“Emerging pharma and biotech companies look to access state-of-the-art DEL screening in a cost-effective way,” said X-Chem CEO Matt Clark. “Our mission is to deploy the power of DEL to benefit a diverse range of partners. Our new OpenDEX partnership model will put the power of our DEL screening platform into the hands of more clients.”
