Your Challenges Require Smart Solutions:

In Vitro & In Vivo Toxicology

Performed in-house in a quality controlled way

The Pharmacelsus service portfolio on In Vitro and In Vivo Toxicology service offers you a complete workflow. De-risk either your early stage drug discovery or late stage development programs with us. In Vitro Toxicology assays are performed in-house in a quality controlled way. In Vivo Toxicology studies according to national and international guidelines are available on rodent and non-rodent species in cooperation with our trusted partner. In Vivo non-GLP rodent studies are performed in house.
