Cytotoxicity
No Preview
'Cyto' means a cell, and 'toxic' translates into something poisonous. Together they form the word cytotoxic, which refers to any substance or process that can cause a cell to die. Cytotoxicity tests check the toxic levels of any chemical or ingredient that goes into your skin or personal care products. It helps the customer to stay assured that the product they are using is safe and will not cause any form of skin-related complications.
We test our formulations on Human dermal fibroblast cells to check their cytotoxicity effect.

The biological responses that these cell lines trigger on exposure to a potentially-harmful substance tend to mimic the reaction by the fibroblast cells in the human dermis.
