Bringing new discoveries out of the laboratory
Tocris Bioscience has a long tradition of working with scientists to bring new discoveries out of the laboratory and into the commercial arena. Small molecules and peptides are our traditional area of expertise but any type of biological probe or other material applicable to preclinical research is of potential interest. We manufacture almost everything ourselves and work to the highest standards of chemical purity.
