Expanded Commitment to a Sustainable Future

U.S. Testing and Regulatory Solutions Now in Greenfield, IN

Expanded U.S. capacity and high-quality study execution conducted by expert study directors at our expanded Greenfield, Indiana site.

General toxicology studies explore the potential of your chemical to cause adverse health effects after single or repeated exposure, be that accidental or deliberate. The exact nature and severity of the effects depends on factors such as the mechanism causing toxicity, chemical bioavailability, the exposure route and amount of chemical a person or animal is exposed to. All these factors need to be considered when designing and performing general toxicology studies. Studies may involve acute single dose studies or repeat dose chronic and subchronic studies looking at a range of toxicity endpoints. 

General toxicity testing for chemicals

General toxicity endpoints are required by all chemical regulators but you need to ensure you are performing the correct studies in an efficient and strategic manner to maximize outputs. What basic studies are required? What routes of administration are needed? What is the most appropriate test species?

An expert team who can partner with you to deliver general toxicology study success in a timely manner

The dedicated toxicology team have extensive expertise in designing, planning and performing general toxicology studies. The team includes toxicologists, biologists, analytical chemists and animal technicians who working collaboratively to optimize study design and performance. From partnering with you strategically to design a full testing program to performing simple specialist studies, we can help you achieve your goals.

Our extensive facilities, flexible capacity and cutting-edge laboratories mean we can conduct studies and deliver high-quality results in a timely manner.

Experience with multiple animal species and modes of administration 

Multiple test species are available for toxicology testing with high levels of animal welfare. As well as oral administration, we have expertise in dermal, subcutaneous, intravenous and intramuscular and inhalation test chemical delivery. Specialized routes of administration and delivery devices are created when necessary. 

A comprehensive range of general toxicology studies 

We have established processes in place to run a barrier of general toxicology studies for your chemical. These include standard endpoints as well as unique endpoints relevant to your chemical.
