What are the Challenges in Implementing Alternative Methods?
Several challenges exist in the implementation of alternative methods:
Validation: There is a need for rigorous validation to ensure that alternative methods can reliably predict toxicological outcomes. Regulatory Acceptance: Regulatory bodies require evidence of equivalence or superiority to traditional methods before accepting alternative approaches. Technical Limitations: Some alternative methods may not fully replicate the complexity of biological systems, leading to potential limitations in their applicability.
