A trusted consultancy, run by experienced toxicologists
If you need a brain break, why not stop by the new Bibra Arcade and play one of our spoooooky games...
We have a simple aspiration
Our toxicology consulting services provide the highest standard of chemical hazard and risk assessment across the broadest range of industries and organisations. We aim to help our clients cope with the complex and ever-changing regulations framed to protect human health, and we endeavour to do this in a way that meets their time and budgetary constraints.
Our expertise
Hazard Characterisation
Our hazard assessments, generally based on in-depth searches of the scientific literature, aim to define the dose-response for all routes of each of a chemical’s toxicological propensities.
Risk Assessment
Our health risk assessments convert the toxicological hazard profile to a health-based guidance value, and compare this reference point to an estimate of human exposure.
Literature Searching & Monitoring Services
Robust risk assessments rely upon quality data. We are experienced searchers of major toxicity databases, giving us valuable access to Expert Group and primary reports.
Industries we work in
Our toxicology consultants have extensive experience, enabling
us to help our clients across various industries and sectors
Extractables + Leachables
We provide valuable support to the pharmaceutical, medical device and processing equipment industries by producing screening reports and, if warranted, full risk assessment reports relating to extractables and leachables (E&L).

Medical Devices
We are adept at conducting biocompatibility assessments and biological safety evaluations of medical devices in compliance with ISO 10993, FDA and European guidelines, to help bring your device to market.

Nicotine Products
We provide valuable advice on toxicological issues relating to e-cigarettes (and other nicotine delivery devices), and can support your regulatory submissions within the scope of EU TPD, UK TRPR and the US FDA PMTA.

Food + Food Contact
Over many years our scientists have been providing independent assessments of the risks of chemical contamination of food and drink.

At bibra we understand the importance of industry-specific knowledge – when people ask us what we do and how we can help them, we reply that we have one area of core expertise – toxicology – that we stick to, and do, exceptionally well.

With generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology advancing rapidly, we look into AI generated toxicology content and decide whether or not we should “get our coats”.
Health risk assessments relating to the excipient components of the Voke® formulation
Case study
A novel nicotine replacement device was designed to deliver a pressurised nicotine formulation via a breath operated valve in a cigarette sized medical device. Kind Consumer received a Marketing Authorisation for its lead product, Voke®, in September 2014.
FDA memoranda: shedding light on health risk assessment of ENDS in PMTA submissions
Blog articles
In 2016, the United States (US) Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ruled that Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems (ENDS) were to be regulated just like more traditional tobacco products, meaning that ENDS (e-cigarettes and e-liquids) are subject to premarket review requirements, despite containing no tobacco. ENDS manufacturers must therefore submit a Premarket Tobacco Product Application (PMTA) to the FDA Center for Tobacco Products (CTP) in order to have any chance of legally marketing their products in the US.
