Modalities For Mechanistic Exploration In Agrochemical Solutions

Agrochemicals are vital for boosting yields, protecting crops, and ensuring food security — but their success depends on understanding their precise site of action. At Aragen, our Biology team specializes in unraveling the mechanisms of insecticides, fungicides, and herbicides through advanced biochemical and cell-based assays. These studies provide critical insights into target interactions, cellular processes, and resistance pathways — enabling the development of safer, more effective, and sustainable crop protection solutions.

Our state-of-the-art facilities support a wide range of capabilities, including:

• Biochemical assays to assess enzyme activity, substrate conversion, and target engagement
• Cell-based assays to identify site-of-action and impact on cellular pathways
• Mitochondrial isolation from insects and fungi to study electron transport as a biochemical target
• Thylakoid isolation from plants to evaluate photosynthetic effects, including ATP/NADPH synthesis and membrane integrity

With automated workstations, liquid handlers, multimode plate readers, and dedicated cell-culture labs, Aragen accelerates agrochemical discovery with precision, efficiency, and deep biological insight.
