Comprehensive General Tox Services

When it comes to selecting a preclinical CRO for your toxicology or PK study, Absorption Systems has the experience you need. With on-staff veterinarians and skilled support technicians plus consultative relationships with board-certified toxicologists, you can be confident that your study will be performed accurately and efficiently. In addition, we offer in-house formulation development and GLP bioanalysis of your samples, giving you one point of contact throughout your preclinical toxicology process.

Relax. We’ve got you covered – from formulation to bioanalysis.

You can benefit from Absorption Systems’ integrated services for toxicology support. Our formulations team can help identify and prepare dose vehicles that are appropriate for short or long-term toxicology studies. Dosing and observations are handled by our expert staff with more than a decade’s experience in small and large animal studies (acute, subchronic, chronic, dose range finding, etc). Our in-house bioanalytical capabilities (both non-GLP and GLP) enable us to oversee your project from beginning to end.

•  Personal attention you deserve
•  Flexibility and rapid study initiation are core components of our operation.
•  Absorption Systems has the capacity and expertise to accelerate your programs.

Our 25,000-square foot vivarium is AAALAC accredited, registered by USDA and NIH, and inspected by FDA. We house dedicated colonies of dogs and pigs, and can handle just about any small or large animal species. Our San Diego facility is also equipped with a state-of-the art surgery suite complete with pre/post operation room and necropsy room. You can even get live feedback from streaming video in the observation room.

"Absorption Systems performed our GLP toxicology study in a highly professional and efficient manner. Moreover, we were very impressed with how quickly they mobilized their staff during the holiday season to help us respond to a new FDA request, thereby avoiding a possible significant regulatory delay.”
