TESTING

1 min read

Metabolic differences occur in skin depending on the temperature, environment, diet, sun exposure and other conditions. We regularly test the response of skin and skin-derived cells.

The graph above is an example of comparing the metabolic activity of control skin cells to different products and conditions. This is often a good way to start investigations into effectiveness of products, but it is also appropriate in the early stages of safety tests to understand toxicity.

Alamar blue, MTT and related metabolism tests can be combined with cell culture analysis and growth rates to understand the response of cells or full skin to treatments.
