In Vitro Alternative Test Methods
Proven expertise in delivering high-quality in vitro safety assessments
Labcorp is committed to driving the 3Rs agenda and offering New Approach Methods (NAMs) – non-animal approached – as demonstrated by our innovation of in vitro testing for the assessment of crop protection products. By partnering with us you will benefit from both our vast experience conducting standard techniques as well as our novel solutions. We’ll create an approach tailored to your regulatory needs and aligned to your substance’s specific properties.
In vitro safety assessments
Multiple in vitro test methods are available for ascertaining the potential impact of your crop protection product on human safety; however how do you find the optimum approach to meet your needs? How can you best exploit in silico and in vitro testing to answer regulatory questions and meet ever-changing endpoints? You need a partner with insight and experience of in vitro test methods and their application to different global regulatory environments.
Labcorp is at the forefront of in vitro testing for crop protection products
Labcorp has played a role in validating various in vitro technologies. Staff engage proactively with the in vitro scientific community via membership of a range of professional bodies such as the in vitro toxicology society (IVTS), in vitro testing industrial platform (IVTIP) and the European Society of Toxicology In Vitro (ESTIV).
This puts us at the forefront of in vitro methodologies and innovations, generating insights that benefit you as our partner.
INTRODUCING A NEW ASSAY: TOXTRACKER®
A unique stem cell-based reporter assay for reliable genotoxicity and carcinogenicity hazard identification
A highly reliable detection of genotoxic compounds, the ToxTracker assay provides you insight into the mode-of-action of genotoxicity. The assay can discriminate between direct DNA reactivity and indirect genotoxicity related to oxidative stress or protein damage and can identify clastogenic and aneugenic compounds. Use of the ToxTracker assay can help you mitigate risk of regulatory rejection by providing data concerning the mechanism of genotoxicity.
