InVitro's products are convenient laboratory test kits that permit
accurate and cost-effective detection and characterization of
irritating or corrosive substances. They are typically utilized by
manufacturers of surfactants; petrochemicals; cosmetics; textiles;
paper and pulp; pharmaceuticals; films and resins; solvents and
cleaners; and other chemical raw materials as reliable substitutes for
conventional animal tests of ocular and dermal irritancy or dermal
corrosivity. The Company's products include the following:
This advanced technology system replaces and significantly enhances the Company's earlier Eytex® and Skintextm products. There are a variety of applications in which these assays assess ocular and/or dermal irritation. The Irritection Assay System
utilizes an automated platereader, for speed and throughput, and
customized Windows software, for automatic transfer and analysis of
data, thus providing accurate and reproducible results in 24 hours.
A Department of Transportation (DOT) approved corrosivity test
which, in less than 4 hours, permits assignment of United Nations
(U.N.) Packing Group classifications I, II, III or Non-Corrosive for
Class 8 corrosives. Corrositex
is also accepted by Consumer Products Safety Commission, EPA, European
Centre Committee for the Validation of Alternative Methods (ECVAM),
FDA, IATA, OSHA and Transport Canada.
Customized
Technology Services In addition to these products, the Company provides
Customized Technology Services (CTS). This laboratory group provides
two important services:
- CTS provides consultation during every phase of your Irritection
Assay System installation and testing process. Initially, CTS
scientists will analyze representative samples of your materials and
establish customized test protocols for them. Following this, CTS
management will prepare a detailed report that includes specific
recommendations for implementation of the Irritection technology in
your own facility. After installation of the system, the CTS group will
continue to provide consultation and assistance to meet all of your
irritancy testing needs. It also can function as an independent testing
laboratory for companies which choose to outsource their irritancy and
corrosivity testing requirements.
