General Toxicology Testing

Reproductive and developmental toxicology studies 

At Vivotecnia, we offer a full suite of reproductive and developmental toxicity studies to assess the potential impact of chemical substances or pharmaceutical compounds on fertility, embryo-fetal development and postnatal outcomes. These studies are crucial to ensure that new products are safe for reproduction health and to meet international regulatory requirements.

Supporting reproductive and developmental risk assessment

For pharmaceutical products

In line with ICH guidelines (such as ICH S5), our reproductive and developmental studies cover the three classical segments of Developmental and Reproductive Toxicology (DART): 

These studies can be conducted by both oral and inhalation routes, depending on the intended use of the pharmaceutical product.

For pharmaceutical products

For chemical products

For crop protection products, industrial chemicals, and other regulated substances, our studies follow OECD test guidelines, including:

As with pharmaceutical testing, these studies are performed by both oral and inhalation routes to reflect realistic exposure scenarios.
