Chemical Biotesting Department  
 
 
<Headquarters, Kurume and Hita>
 

Since its establishment in 1973, the Chemical Biotesting Center has tested the safety of more than 5,000 chemical substances in accordance with the Chemical Substances Control Law. With this experience as its foundation, the center possesses biotesting technology, in vivo microanalysis technology, and equipment for performing a range of tests, conducted according to the Good Laboratory Practices compliance, in order to assess the impact of pharmaceuticals, agricultural chemicals, and other chemical substances on human health and the environment. The center's activities range from designing tests to performing them and even to conducting comprehensive safety evaluations. The tests covered include a range of safety tests based on laws and regulations as well as tests required for MSDS preparation (the preparation of material safety data sheets) and the safe management of chemicals.
