How is In Vitro Testing Revolutionizing Toxicology?
In vitro testing involves the use of cell cultures and biochemical assays to evaluate the toxicity of substances. This method offers several advantages over traditional animal testing, including the ability to use human cells, which can provide more relevant data. In vitro techniques allow for high-throughput screening, enabling the rapid assessment of numerous compounds. Recent advances in microfluidics have enhanced in vitro testing by allowing for the precise control of small volumes of liquids, improving the accuracy and reproducibility of results.
