Description:
Dstl have a requirement to procure a service for in-vitro testing of potentially psychoactive substances to support the implementation of the Psychoactive Substances Act (2016) hereafter referred to as the PSA.

This technical specification focuses on in vitro bioassays subdivided into binding and functional assays. The Supplier is required to conduct in vitro bioassays using relevant, robust and efficient receptor binding assay, transporter uptake/release and functional assay methodology for the selected molecular targets.

This involves laboratory testing of substances to an accredited standard and preparation of test reports and associated documentation to support the criminal justice system.
