Cytotoxicity testing

Cytotoxicity testing evaluates whether a substance or material harms living cells. In this process, cells are exposed to the material, and scientists observe if the cells survive, grow, or show signs of damage. This helps determine if the material is safe for use in products like medical devices, implants, or pharmaceuticals. The goal is to ensure that the substance doesn't produce toxic effects in the body, and it provides essential data for regulatory approval and safety assessments. Essentially, it's a way to test if a material is biologically compatible and safe for human use.
