Does your compound taste good enough for the clinic?
July 24, 2025
At Pharmidex, we offer Brief Access Taste Aversion (BATA) testing, which is a behavioural assay that quantifies how test subjects respond to different compounds or formulations by measuring lick response and aversion. This helps identify:
✅ Bitter-tasting APIs
✅ Unpalatable excipients
✅ The success of taste-masking strategies
✅ Formulation-dependent compliance risks
Get in touch if you’re developing oral formulations, paediatric drugs, or repurposing bitter APIs, this could be the data your IND package needs.
