Ocular research scientist examining eye tissue sampleOphthalmic & Ocular

Ocular Studies

Mechanistic efficacy and dose-response toxicity profiling of candidate ophthalmic compounds, eye area cosmetics, and ocular-contact materials using both validated cell-free macromolecular platforms and human ocular cell-based models. Delivers quantitative irritation classification, injury-severity scoring, and cytotoxicity data.

Dermal skin research scientist in laboratorySkin & Topical

Dermal Studies

Comprehensive cytotoxicity, corrosion, and irritation assessment of active pharmaceutical ingredients, excipients, and topical formulations using both cell-free In Chemico™ biochemical platforms and human cell-based models, including primary keratinocytes, fibroblasts, and reconstructed tissue.

OECD Test Guideline No. 496, OptiSafe Eye Irritation Test

Developed by Lebrun Labs

The OptiSafe Eye Irritation Test™ (OptiSafe EIT™)

Eye irritation test for regulatory use (OECD 496). The OptiSafe EIT™ is highly sensitive and the best choice for eye area cosmetics and personal care products, except those containing metal oxides (e.g., zinc oxide, metals in eyeshadows), which should be tested with IVD EIT. Testing services are available through our partner lab, ALS Global. Kits are available at inchemico.co.

The In Vitro Depth of Injury™ Eye Irritation Test (IVD EIT™)

Developed by Lebrun Labs

Now Available!

The In Vitro Depth of Injury™ Eye Irritation Test (IVD EIT™)

The only nonanimal test able to discriminate "Eye Protection Required" vs. no labeling required, distinguishing Globally Harmonized System (GHS) categories IV and 2B from 2A and 1. Broad sensitivity covers the full product spectrum, from cosmetics to strong industrial solvents. High mechanistic relevance makes it a strong choice for ocular drug studies.

Toxic chemical corrosive substance testing

Developed by Lebrun Labs

Now Available!

The DermaSafe Skin Corrosion Test™ (DermaSafe SCT™)

The DermaSafe SCT™ is a nonanimal test that can be used to classify the dermal corrosivity of consumer products and industrial chemicals. Results are often used to support Globally Harmonized System (GHS) safety labeling, product documentation and assign Department of Transportation (DOT) packing groups. The test evaluates the extent of dermal corrosion and relates this to regulatory classifications.
