Scientists in our In-Vitro testing labs are well trained on ASTM, AATCC, AOAC, CLSI and EN standard methods. The efficacy testing services of this laboratory include MIC/MBC, biofilm prevention and removal, time-kill kinetics, cleanroom disinfectant validation, the zone of inhibition and custom efficacy studies for disinfectants, antimicrobials and other products requiring EPA registrations and FDA 510(k) submissions. Studies in our in-vitro lab can also be designed and executed to differentiate existing products within the market and support unique label claims.
BioScience provides a wide scope of in-vitro test evaluation possibilities from one to two microorganism screening evaluations to evaluations using more than 1,500 ATCC strains and clinical isolates.
Our In-Vitro Laboratory uses tissue models prepared by the company leading the development of alternatives to animal testing methods to perform safety testing on cosmetics, surfactant-based products, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals as well as products for personal care, hair care, and household cleaning. These tests include Ocular Irritation, Skin Irritation, Dermal Corrosion, Oral Irritation, and Cytotoxicity.
