Eurofins Medical Device Testing is committed to the advancement of animal welfare and encourages others to include this as a core aspect of corporate social responsibility. That is why Eurofins Medical Device Testing is a leader in safety testing without animals and is deeply committed to the principles of the three‘s: Replacement, Reduction and Refinement. Our evaluation methods incorporate a unique approach that allows a more precise prediction of human results.
Our service portfolio includes methods for replacing the use of animals to evaluate acute systemic toxicity, skin and eye irritation and skin sensitisation and also reducing the use of animals for repeated-dose toxicity, carcinogenicity and reproductive toxicity.
The Eurofins Medical Device Testing network of laboratories works closely with independent scientists and regulatory agencies to adopt methods to satisfy various regulations. We are proactive in the development and use of in vitro methods, partnering with researchers and clients in pre-validation and validation studies.
