To develop and provide innovative bioassays and implement their use to the highest international standards as analytical tools for investigation of highly potent materials.

Whilst we recognise that there will be an ongoing need to test some materials in animal models, we believe that BDS' bioassays offer biologically relevant tools and we will promote replacement of animal tests with bioassays.

We aim to achieve our goals of:

> To develop innovative bioassays
> The wide acceptance of bioassays
> Launching bioassays on the market
> Rapid assessment of environmental and human risk
> Offering our customers the best products and the best support service
> Long-term partnerships with our customers
