Microsampling in toxicology – Maximising the scientific, business and 3Rs advantages

This webinar was held in September 2022 in collaboration with the British Toxicology Society (BTS). Its aim is to raise awareness of the microsampling technique and encourage wider adoption across both discovery and regulatory toxicology studies. 

This was a ‘re-run’ of a session presented during the 2022 BTS congress to make the content accessible to the wider scientific community around the world.
