EpiDerm™ approved by OECD as stand-alone in-vitro test method for phototoxicity

MatTek Life Sciences, a subsidiary of CELLINK, today announced the acceptance of the EpiDerm™ Phototoxicity Test as part of Test Guideline No. 498 In vitro Phototoxicity: Reconstructed Human Epidermis Phototoxicity Test Method by the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). This effort is very much in line with the Group’s goals to reduce and eventually replace animal testing by developing technologies and methods that are more human-relevant and provide a more accurate prediction of human clinical responses. This is the fourth OECD test guideline validation for MatTek’s in vitro tissue models following validations for Skin Irritation (OECD TG 439), Skin Corrosion (OECD TG 431) and Eye Irritation (OECD TG 492).
