Additional information
Nucro Technics supports a broad range of toxicology testing programs, from routine to novel. They utilize various animal models, including rodent and non-rodent species, and offer multiple routes of administration for in vivo studies. Their services are designed to generate data critical for regulatory submissions and drug development programs. For specific tests like OECD 402, 404, and 405, they typically require 10 grams of test article and perform studies in accordance with Good Laboratory Practice regulations. The USP <151> Pyrogen Test is conducted using a minimum of 3 rabbits.
