What is truly animal-free testing? This Hallowe’en, we’re highlighting the scary truth behind the majority of “non-animal” test methods! Did you know that most in vitro tests still use animal-derived components, and ultimately still require the sacrifice of animals? A clear example is the widespread use of foetal bovine serum (FBS) to culture many cell types in vitro. FBS is collected by cardiac puncture from pregnant cows at the slaughterhouse, and research has shown that the unborn calf is likely to suffer horribly from this process. Other examples include the use of rat liver extracts to bring a metabolic component to cell-based tests, and antibodies raised in rabbits. The ongoing use of animal-derived components for in vitro testing and research needs to be highlighted for greater transparency across industry and academia. The topic is receiving increasing attention, not only for ethical reasons, but for scientific ones too, as the use of animal components limits the human relevance of the tests. At XCellR8, we’re very proud to be the world’s only truly animal-free and cruelty-free testing lab. We eradicate all animal-derived components from our tests and use only ethically human-derived or synthetic components, ensuring that the best science and the best ethics go hand in hand. #AnimalFreeTesting #CrueltyFree #InVitroTesting #XCellR8
