New Approach Methodologies (NAMs)
In recent years, a paradigm shift has taken place in the field of toxicology and biomedical research with the emergence of New Approach Methodologies (NAMs). Traditionally, animal testing has been the cornerstone of scientific research, providing valuable insights into the effects of substances on living organisms. However, ethical concerns, high costs and the increasing recognition of species differences have led to a search for alternative methods that are not only more humane but also scientifically superior.
Many toxicity testing guidelines already include NAMs alternatives to animal testing. Our instaCELL kits offer simple and low-threshold solutions for a switch to cell-based toxicology testing.
instaCELL cytotoxicity assay kits
instaCELL cytotoxicity assay kits have been designed to improve the reliability and reproducibility of routine toxicity testing. The assay kit includes aliquots of cryopreserved assay ready cells which have been qualified for the testing. The cells can be used like a reagent instantly after thawing and don’t need to be cultivated or even counted before. The kit further includes assay plates, proper controls, and a viability dye (Resazurin).
