Over 20 years’ experience in designing and conducting a comprehensive suite of in vitro safety assessments to globally recognized standards

Innovators in in vitro study design and technology: enhancing study reliability and improving outcomes

Insights gathered from worldwide regulatory environments leveraged to smooth the regulatory journey of your chemical

In vitro testing for the assessment of your chemical is increasingly important as animal use continues to be replaced, refined and reduced. We are helping lead innovation in this area. By partnering with us, you will benefit from extensive experience in standard techniques and novel solutions. Our goal is to provide an approach tailored to address your regulatory needs and aligned to your substance’s specific properties.

In vitro safety assessments

An array of in vitro test methods may be employed to determine the potential impact that your chemical has on human safety. With an increased focus on expanding and exploiting in silico and in vitro testing to answer regulatory questions and meet ever-changing endpoints, you need a partner with insight and experience in both in vitro test methods and their applicability to regulatory requirements from around the globe.

What You Get

A team at the forefront of in vitro safety assessment innovation

We've played a part in the validation of various in vitro technologies. In addition, staff maintain membership of a range of professional bodies such as the In Vitro Toxicology Society (IVTS), In Vitro Testing Industrial Platform (IVTIP) and the European Society of Toxicology In Vitro (ESTIV) to stay abreast of innovation.

This puts us at the forefront of in vitro methodologies and innovations, generating insights that benefit you as our partner.

Partnership with an expert team dedicated to delivering in vitro testing success

Our in vitro testing team consists of experts from diverse backgrounds with extensive experience in planning and managing in vitro studies. The team includes toxicologists, biologists, analytical chemists and environmental scientists. By working collaboratively, study plans can be flexed and optimized.
