As we approach the 45th Annual American College of Toxicology (ACT) Meeting, Scantox is experiencing a thrilling period of change. With the recent acquisition of Gentronix Limited, we have combined two industry leaders to offer a complete suite of toxicology services. Our active participation as an exhibitor and Platinum Sponsor underlines our commitment to this event and the advancement of the toxicology field.
Join us in Austin, TX, from November 17 to 20 to meet our top business and scientific team and discover how our enhanced capabilities can accelerate your projects.
What This Acquisition Means for You
Integrating Gentronix into Scantox aligns perfectly with our long-standing strategy to support clients beyond acute toxicology work, guiding them through customized IND-enabling packages and into clinical trials. Gentronix, a reputable genetic toxicology laboratory based in Manchester, England, brings specialized expertise that complements Scantox’s established regulatory toxicology offerings.
Specifically, our toxicology services now also include:
- Comprehensive genetic toxicology testing: Access to genetic toxicology assays, e.g., market-leading expertise in Transgenic Rodent Gene Mutation (TGR) assays like the Big Blue assay (registered trademark).
- GLP genotoxicity capabilities: Covering endpoint detection for mutagenic, clastogenic, and aneugenic mechanisms
- GLP skin and ocular toxicology testing: Broadened services to comprehensively assess chemical toxicology to skin and ocular tissues
Unified Culture and Commitment to Excellence
Joining forces with Gentronix is not just about expanding Scantox’s services. Both teams bring their own expertise, but they’re driven by the same culture and core values: putting the client first, delivering accurate, high-quality data, timely reporting, and ensuring open, responsive communication every step of the way.
Derek McFerran, Gentronix’s CCO, emphasizes, “Scientific and technical engagement is a strong part of what we offer. We’re experts in the field and build client relationships by providing intellectual input to projects and helping to design the right work packages to meet their needs.”
