BIO BASIC EUROPE: DEVELOPING OF IN VITRO METHODS ALTERNATIVE TO ANIMAL TESTING / ISS – OIE AGREEMENT
We inform that the Italian Institute of Health (ISS) in a press release, stated to have signed an agreement with the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) on the 24th June 2018, for a high quality research to be promoted and carried out following the “One Health” approach (concept of health to be extended to animals and environment, in addition to humans). We reaffirm BIO BASIC EUROPE commitment to the application and developing of in vitro methods, alternative to animal testing. At BIO BASIC LAB, in the research centre “Parco Tecnico Scientifico” of Pavia, we perform both regulated and internal safety and efficacy evaluations on cosmetic products, medical devices, and food supplements. In order to cancel the impact on animals exploited for scientific and commercial purposes, when it is possible we prefer to perform in vitro tests on reconstructed human epitheliums, whose tissue is more complex than common cell lines. Examples of IN VITRO SAFETY TESTS performed in BIO BASIC LAB: IN VITRO CITOTOXICITY TEST | PHOTOTOXICITY TEST 3T3 NRU | IN VITRO CORROSION TEST | EYE IRRITATION TEST | SKIN IRRITATION TEST | IN CHEMICO SKIN SENSITIZATION (DPRA) TEST | IN VITRO EVALUATION OF THE PRO-SENSITIZING POTENTIAL | SCREENING TEST - PRELIMINARY EVALUATION OF THE POTENTIAL PRO-SENSITIZING ACTION OF A PRODUCT, WITH AN ASSESSMENT OF THE CELL MORPHOLOGY Example of CLAIMS substantiated by IN VITRO EFFICACY TESTS performed in BIO BASIC LAB: ANTI-AGING | ANTI-PHOTOAGING | PROTECTIVE | REPAIRING | PIGMENTING | WHITENING | TANNING | ANTI-POLLUTION | KERATOLITIC | CELL RENEWAL | REGENERATING | ELASTICIZING | BARRIER EFFECT | WOUND HEALING | SOOTHING | ANTI-REDDENING | LIPOREDUCING | VOLUMIZING | MOISTURIZING | MUCOADHESIVE | ANTI-HAIR LOSS For any further information needed, please contact us on +39024155729, or using the email addresses below: BIO BASIC EUROPE Dr.ssa ELIANA REGOLA (Bio Basic Lab Project Manager) testing@biobasiceurope.it Dr. RICCARDO VICINI (Head of In Vitro Laboratory) vitro@biobasiceurope.it Dr.ssa SARA MARIA SAVOIA (Sales Manager) commercial@biobasiceurope.it Dr. Umberto Pianca Managing Director & Technical Scientific Committee President Bio Basic Europe
