Consultations

PRN provides leading expertise in advanced health risk prediction for Malaysia. We offer integrated environmental and occupational solutions.

Areas of Specialized Consultation:  

• Analytical and Forensic Toxicology: Design and oversight of laboratory analyses including screening and quantification of toxins in various matrices.
• Anticancer Activity Testing
  Assessment of potential anticancer effects of compounds in various human cancer cell lines such as leukemia, liver, cervical, and colon.
• Carcinogenicity Testing (Long-Term Studies)
  Evaluation of the carcinogenic potential of substances through in vitro transformation assays
• Cytotoxicity Testing
  Evaluation of toxicity on normal and cancer cell lines to determine the safety and efficacy of substances, including drug candidates, traditional/herbal products, chemical reagents and pollutants
• ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay)
  Quantitative detection of proteins, cytokines, and biomarkers related to inflammation, toxicity, apoptosis, and oxidative stress in cell culture supernatants
• Food Safety and Risk Assessment: Evaluation of chemical contaminants in food, dietary exposure assessment, and safety limits using national and international standards.
• Genotoxicity Testing
  Detection of DNA damage or mutagenic potential in human/bacterial cells
• Health Risk Assessment: Evaluating the potential health impacts of chemical pollutants (air, water, & soil) through rigorous analysis and spatial epidemiology.
• Health Risk Assessment: Quantitative and qualitative assessments of health risks from environmental and occupational exposures.
• Honey Authenticity Testing.
• Human-Based Studies (Surveys/Observational)
  Conducting surveys such as Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (KAP) studies and biomonitoring to assess public exposure to hazardous substances and their health outcomes, with implications for public health policy.
