10.21.26 -- A Sustainable Future: Leveraging 3Rs To Innovate And Accelerate In Testing

A Sustainable Future: Phasing Out Animal Testing

Advanced molecular methods are creating new opportunities to reduce reliance on animal testing while improving the relevance and efficiency of scientific research. Explore a practical roadmap, as well as how regulatory updates and innovative technologies are shaping a sustainable future.

 

Leveraging 3Rs For Superior Cell Line Characterization

Biologics safety testing is evolving to meet the need for faster results while reducing reliance on animal-based methods. Examine how non-animal methods, including next generation sequencing, are advancing biologics safety testing through the 3Rs while supporting faster adventitious virus testing and more.

 

A Comprehensive Solution For Adventitious Agent Testing

Reliable cell bank characterization depends on detecting viral contaminants with both precision and breadth. Modern sequencing methods offer sensitive detection of adventitious and species‑specific viruses. Learn how targeted and non‑targeted NGS approaches improve confidence in cell bank characterization.

 

Replacement Of Traditional Adventitious Virus Testing

For several decades, molecular-based technologies have played a crucial role in evaluating viral safety in biologically derived samples. Discover how these technologies, including PCR and Next Generation Sequencing, are transforming viral safety testing by offering broader, more effective alternatives to traditional animal-based methods.
