Booth #1934
San Diego, CA, USA
Join our scientific sessions and poster presentations at this year’s SOT, featuring the latest GARD® data and case studies generated in collaboration with industry leaders.
Meet us at booth #1934 and discuss your specific testing needs with our scientific team – We help you design testing strategies tailored to your substances and regulatory goals: from “2 out of 3” defined approaches according to OECD 497, to exploratory studies supporting product development.
