Tolerance, Safety & Metabolism Studies

Charles River performs ADME, pharmacokinetic, bioequivalence, residue depletion and target animal safety studies in compliance with EU, VICH, US and Japanese regulations. We have experience in formulating doses ranging from aquatic-based solutions to oil-based suspensions. Our modern facilities offers enough housing capacity for over 200 lactating cattle.

We offer an integrated analytical service for residue analysis and metabolite profiling and identification.
