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: โ
Bitter-tasting APIs โ
Unpalatable excipients โ
The success of taste-masking strategies โ
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.
