OUR VALUES
OUR VALUES
Our business origins are in the delivery of innovative screening products for toxicological hazard; challenging the established approach with scientific rigour. Building on our experiences of developing market leading predictive toxicology assays, we have extended our expertise to the regulatory tests for genetic toxicology and recently skin sensitisation.
We make a commitment to our clients to perform toxicology studies of the highest scientific quality; not merely to produce data, but to deliver the most appropriate data endpoints, using the right assay tools, guided by scientific engagement and experience. Furthermore, we are committed to helping our clients understand and interpret their results, supporting navigation of regulatory landscapes and management of adverse toxicology findings.
This is guided by our core values, which we apply to all the studies we perform:
Excellence; we strive to deliver the highest quality service using the most appropriate scientific tools.
Effectiveness; we aim to deliver high quality results when you need them.
Efficiency; we optimise our approach to deliver maximum data from minimum material.
Engagement; we engage scientifically to support study design through to data interpretation and management.
