Welcome to Spectratox

Spectratox Ltd is a Contract Research Organisation (CRO) which is in the business of providing clinical photoxicity studies and laboratory photosensitivity testing for the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors.

The work involves testing paid volunteers for UV sensitivity and visible light by exposing small areas of the skin to controlled levels.

The sole shareholder of Spectratox Ltd is the Photobiology Trust, a charitable organisation devoted entirely to the promotion of dermatological research, education and clinical care.

The new venture, driven by the expertise and reputation of Professor James Ferguson will operate to the highest industrial, regulatory and ethical standards offering first class photoxicity testing with the capability of providing residential facilities which will be independent of the NHS.
