Hazard assessment and Toxicology

Our knowledge and expertise of particle and fibre toxicology can provide the hazard information you need to safely develop and market materials and nanotechnology-enabled products, meeting regulatory requirements.

We support SME- and large-scale manufacturing, R&D, and downstream users of nanomaterials, offering tailored toxicity testing for product stewardship and regulatory compliance.

Our integrated approach offers:

• Sample preparation and characterisation;
• Customised study designs for particles and fibres;
• Benchmarked in vitro toxicology studies for inhalation, dermal, and ingestion exposure;
• Complementary assays for evaluating cell viability, oxidative stress and inflammation;
• Safer-by-design screening for candidate product evaluation;
• Biodurability/dissolution assessment;
• Optical, confocal and electron microscopy analysis of cells and tissue;
• Support with regulatory compliance;
• Access to ecotoxicology expertise to support environmental risk assessment.
