Cytotoxicity tests

Cytotoxicity tests evaluate whether a substance is harmful to living cells. They are commonly used to assess the safety of materials like medical devices, pharmaceuticals, or chemicals by exposing cultured cells to the substance. If the cells remain healthy and survive, the material is considered non-toxic; if they die or show damage, it indicates potential toxicity. These tests help ensure products are safe for human use and identify any potential adverse biological effects before clinical application, providing valuable information about biocompatibility and safety.
