In Vitro Testing

In vitro tests are performed "in vitro using a cell line". In vitro tests are rapid, animal-friendly. The Cytotoxicity Test is designed to evaluate the general toxicity of medical devices and materials.

Test; It involves extracting medical devices in a cell culture medium followed by exposing the extract fluid to mouse fibroblast cells (L929). The cells are allowed to grow in the extract liquid for a certain period of 24 hours – 72 hours. Cytotoxicity testing is performed on all medical devices and raw materials with patient contact.

• CYTOXICITY TEST – EN ISO 10993-5 Does your medical device damage cell viability or tissues?
• IRRITATION TEST – OECD 439 Are there potential irritants in your medical device?
