Cell culture testing

Cell culture experiments enable companies to evaluate the properties of their products without having to resort to animal testing. In vitro tests provide a valuable basis for product development and safety, particularly in the food supplement and cosmetics industries as well as for medical device manufacturers.

In vitro experiments allow for the characterisation and testing of substances in a defined and controlled setup, offering important insights into the mechanistic context.

Cellular effects

The complexity of an organism makes it challenging to recognise the inter- and intracellular interactions and to examine their basic biological functions. In vitro methods simplify the study system, allowing for a focus on a defined potential target and the investigation of the mechanism of action (MoA).

Screening of substances

Due to their cost efficiency and speed, cell culture studies are very well suited for upstream screening of potential bioactive substances, as well as downstream QM.

Quality control

• Effect

To confirm the effect of a product, in vitro tests can be used to measure specific biological activities. This data helps to scientifically substantiate product claims and can be used as an indicator of a product's potential efficacy.

• Safety

Product safety is of paramount importance. In vitro test methods enable, for example, the identification of potential skin irritations, cyto- or genotoxic effects and allergic reactions before products reach the market.

• Batch-to-batch control

Regular in vitro testing during and/or at the end of the production process ensures consistent quality across different production batches. By implementing standardised test procedures, deviations in product quality can be detected at an early stage. This is particularly important for botanicals.
