In Vitro Cytotoxicity, Skin Irritation and Corrosion Testing

05 Sep 2025

With the growing global emphasis on product safety and ‘cruelty-free’, in vitro toxicity, skin irritation and corrosion testing has become a key method for assessing the biocompatibility of materials and final product. Models such as reconstructed human epidermis (RhE), cornea-like epithelium (RhCE)and L929 cells effectively simulate human biological responses and comply with international standards.


 


Standards Including


OECD TG 431 : In Vitro Skin Corrosion Test
