Scantox Services within the Drug Development Process
The drug and device development process timeline can be divided into different lifecycle phases, and it is often a 10+ years process for a new drug to reach the intended market. Once a lead compound is identified within the drug discovery phase, the preclinical phase of drug development begins with in vivo research to determine the efficacy and safety of the drug. Preclinical trials test the new drug on non-human subjects for efficacy, toxicity, and pharmacokinetic (PK) information. Scantox’ core business is studies within the Preclinical phase, but we also extend our expertise into in vitro and in vivo studies in early discovery. Scantox is catered towards providing services for both the biopharmaceutical innovative SMEs, as well as the bigger pharma companies on the global arena.
Scantox is your guarantee for solid timelines, on-time and on-budget deliveries, the highest quality scientific data, and a close partnership where you are in contact with a dedicated scientist from start to finish of your study.
GLP Accredited Company
Scantox is your GLP-accredited CRO partner.
The fundamental purpose of the Principles of Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) is to ensure the quality and integrity of test data related to non-clinical studies. The way in which study data is generated, handled, reported, retained and archived has continued to evolve in line with the introduction and ongoing development of supporting technologies. However, the main purpose of the requirements of the Principles of GLP remains the same in having confidence in the quality, the integrity of the data and being able to reconstruct activities performed during the conduct of non-clinical studies.
