EXPERIMENTAL SERVICES
Custom tailored program for non-clinical development, testing and support of CTA/MA to meet the needs of the clients and partners from pharma/biotech/medical device/food industry (EMA, ICH/VICH, FDA, ISO 10993/USP 88, EFSA)
Standard safety testing program to meet the needs of the clients and partners from chemical/agrochemical industry (ECHA, OECD TG - Section 4, US EPA)
In vitro test system: bacteria, mammalian cells
In vivo test system: rodents (mouse, rat, hamster, guinea pig), non-rodents (rabbit, ferret, cat, dog, non-human primates, pig/mini pig)
Facilities available: conventional and SPF housing, BSL II, Tissue culture laboratory, Laboratory of clinical pathology, Laboratory of pahtology and histopathology
Administration routes: besides of common administration routes (oral and parenteral, topical), intra-cardial, intra-articular, intra-ocular, intra-nasal and implantation (sub-cutis, muscle and bone) are available
Alternative methods of testing according to OECD, and/or ECVAM/ICVAM are strictly preferred whenever it is rational and justified.
Other services: consultancy in non-clinical toxicology, toxicopathology, quality assurance (revision of study documentation, consultany and implementing GLP)
