WHAT IS CYTOTOXICITY?

  • Alchimia has opted to carry out biological as well as chemical analyzes on its products in order to offer greater guarantees and respond to the growing need for increasingly controlled and safe products on the market.
  • The biological cytotoxicity tests that we perform on the BALB 3T3 and ARPE-19 cell lines are part of the large family of biocompatibility tests for the biological evaluation of medical devices according to iso 10993-1. Specifically, the product to be tested is placed in contact with a suitable cell population. Toxicity is determined quantitatively (cell mortality) and morphologically (change in the shape of cells).

  • The test is carried out in accordance with the ISO 10993-5 standard and validated methods to offer greater guarantees in the safety of the product.
