The Toxicological Science Division serves to perform nonclinical studies by taking full advantages of a vast array of techniques and renowned reliability that the former Mitsubishi Chemical Safety Institute Ltd. (MSI) had acquired through its broad range of accumulated experience.
Tests on Pharmaceuticals and Agrochemicals
Genotoxicity Studies
We conduct various GLP tests and studies required for the notification of pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, agrochemicals, and industrial chemicals. With our abundant experience, we also conduct tests and studies in compliance with the GLP requirements of the USA and EU. Moreover, various screening tests as well as tests for the material safety data sheet (MSDS) are also available. We continue to emphasize the development of new techniques to accurately evaluate risks to humans. Please contact us for detailed information such as background data, achievements in the tests and studies below.
