In vitro Toxicology

 

Animal welfare is given the highest priority at Vivotecnia. All studies involving animals are performed according to international guidelines and good practices in animal experimentation. In vitro tests offer a valid alternative evaluation of candidate products prior to the use of experimental animals.

In vitro toxicological assays are also important for the correct planning of future assays, as well as to complement the general toxicological profile of a product.

A standard battery of in vitro tests is required by regulatory agencies prior to the authorisation of pharmaceutical and cosmetic products (Genotoxicity).
