  • Test on the decision of polymer weight decision regarding its characteristics

Residual monomer content test

  • Analysis of monomers that did not react upon polymer synthesis

Substitute Test for Animal Testing

KTR finds substitutes for test animals to evaluate the stability and validity of chemical substances, being the only one in Korea to provide animal testing substitute services.
