In vitro toxicity testing, alsoknown as in vitro toxicity testing, is the scientific investigationof the adverse effects of certain toxic chemicals on mammalian cellsor cultured animals. It is done in order to assess the potentialhazards of a product or procedure before use in humans. This can beperformed in various scientific settings, including researchlaboratories and manufacturing environments. Animals are frequentlyused in these tests in order to minimize the risks of exposure. Inorder to comply with legal requirements and to ensure safety,companies in the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries have tocomply with the current standards set for in vitro toxicity testing.
In recent years various animalwelfare associations have raised initiates towards eradicatingtoxicity testing on animals. In vitro toxicity testing eliminates theuse of animals from the testing procedure. This factor is driving thegrowth of the market. Various advantages associated with in vitrotoxicity testing are also supporting the growth of the invitro toxicity testing market.Moreover, this procedure also gives proper detection of toxic effectson the organism at very low concentration and this is not possible inanimal testing. Furthermore, strict rules and regulations regardingthe banning of animal testing are expected to provide potentialopportunities in the near future. For instance, in January 2020, thestate governments of California, Nevada, and Illinois banned the saleor import of animal-tested cosmetics.
