Four Assays for the Testing of Skin Sensitizing Materials

A skin sensitizer is defined by the United Nations Globally Harmonized System of Classifications and Labelling of Chemicals as a substance that induces an allergic response after coming in contact with the skin. Skin sensitization testing is often necessary to meet regulation guidelines and, more generally, is key to ensuring the safety of your product for consumer use.

Laboratory and Office Space Checklist

Searching for the right laboratory and office space for your startup can be stressful. It's important to find space that your life sciences company can scale in so once regulatory approvals are achieved they won't have to be achieved again elsewhere. Make sure your space can scale with you!

Unpacking Protein Analysis

Proteins are complex molecules essential for life and can be identified by using a technique called Western blot. This technique allows scientists to identify proteins of interest, which helps them determine how biomaterials interact with the body.

Not to be Overlooked: Cytotoxicity Testing of Biomaterials and Medical Devices

Biomaterials are materials used in medical devices, and cytotoxicity testing is performed on biomaterials to see how they affect mammalian cells. This is important to test because biomaterials can cause cell death and lead to inflammatory responses if not tested properly. If a biomaterial doesn't meet the standard, additional testing is required. ‍

Biomaterial Genotoxicity Assessment

When developing medical devices and other biomaterials, it's critical to determine how the material will interact with human cells. Genotoxicity tests like the Ames test measure the potential of a biomaterial to cause genetic damage in human cells. If modified bacteria grow on the plates without nutrients, then a genetic mutation has occurred and it's a genotoxic biomaterial. If not, the biomaterial is safe.
