About us

Scantox is one of Europe’s leading preclinical contract research organizations (CRO). On contract basis we provide research for the medical industry in connection to the development of new drugs and treatments. We do both in vitro and in vivo preclinical testing, and primarily tests done at the early stages in the drug development process prior to the substrates being tested in humans. Our core markets are pharma, biotech and life sciences.

The Scantox headquarters is located near Køge in Denmark, where we currently have approximately 175 employees covering a wide array of experts from many different professional areas — scientists, veterinarians, animal caretakers, as well as administrative roles. We also have subsidiaries in Sweden, Austria and UK and in total we are a European team of 400.
