Strategic scientific and regulatory teams designed to help optimize your genotoxicology study program

Manage all aspects of your genetic toxicology studies from concept through to data reporting and regulatory submission

High animal welfare standards ensure robust and reliable results every time

Consumer concern over the potential cancer risk posed by everyday chemicals is high. This is not surprising when new potential genotoxicity risks hit the news headlines on a regular basis. We understand the importance of characterizing your chemical’s genetic toxicology to satisfy regulators, reassure consumers and support market growth.  

Your Needs

It can be hard to create the optimum plan for genetic toxicology testing

Each chemical is different with potential genotoxicity driven by basic physiochemistry. Understanding the link between physiochemistry and genotoxicity is essential for identifying the right genetic toxicology testing approach for your compound. It dictates studies, study design and influences your chemical’s regulatory journey. To get robust genetic toxicology information in a time and cost-efficient way you need to understand regulatory requirements to employ the right assays and run them in the best way.

Our Capabilities

Designing study programs that are right for you, your chemical and regulators

Whatever your need, we can help you to design a genotoxicology solution to suit you. From efficient program design to performing a single assay – we can help. A dedicated team of scientists with comprehensive experience in designing and executing genetic toxicology studies will be built around your needs. By taking a joined-up approach combining scientific and regulatory insight your needs are clearly assessed and addressed. We have an  In excess of 1,000 in vitro Genetic Tox tests and more than 120 in vivo Genetic Tox assays are performed each year.
