Established in 2004, CIDP (Centre International de Développement Pharmaceutique) is an international Contract Research Organisation (CRO) that carries out high R&D activities for pharmaceutical, medical device, nutraceutical and cosmetic industries.
In Vitro Assays
CIDP Preclinical offers a wide range of in vitro assays for safety and toxicity, efficacy, and antiviral assessment. Our tests have been developed and validated according to international guidelines (ECVAM, OECD and ISO). The assays are performed in strict compliance with Good Laboratory Practice (GLP). We also design and advise on tailored assays to meet your specific requirements for your product development and validation process.
