Progress or Perfection?

Progress or Perfection?

by Sam Thistleton | Oct 25, 2021 | Animal-free testing, In Vitro Safety, News

In this blog we ask does it have to be an ‘all or nothing’ approach to animal-free testing? Here at XCellR8 we dare to tread where sometimes regulators fear to go. Our work focuses on pursuing the science that will end the reliance on animal data once and for all. No...
Beyond the Ethics: In Pursuit of Science

Beyond the Ethics: In Pursuit of Science

by Sam Thistleton | Oct 15, 2021 | Animal-free testing, In Vitro Safety, News

The blog this week talks about the reasons why animal testing is considered out-dated from a scientific perspective, and the advantages of the modern animal-free alternatives. An article in Food and Chemical Toxicology all the way back in 1985 questions the scientific...
Claims in Cosmetics: Cruelty-free, Animal-free and Vegan

Claims in Cosmetics: Cruelty-free, Animal-free and Vegan

by Sam Thistleton | Oct 7, 2021 | Animal-free testing, News

We’re all comfortable with the fact that vegan means animal-free, so logic says that vegan equals cruelty-free, right? Not necessarily! In this week’s blog we look at the terminology used by companies to help consumers ask the right questions and make the right choice...
Foetal bovine serum (FBS) – why it needs to be consigned to cell culture history

Foetal bovine serum (FBS) – why it needs to be consigned to cell culture history

by Carol Treasure | Dec 16, 2020 | Animal-free testing, In Vitro Safety, News

This photo shows human skin cells (dermal fibroblasts) growing in our lab at XCellR8. This isn’t just an ordinary fibroblast culture – it’s more special than you may realise at first glance!  Read on to discover why…. The majority of cell cultures in labs around the...
Putting the scale of animal-free into practice

Putting the scale of animal-free into practice

by Carol Treasure | Apr 29, 2020 | Animal-free testing, News

Last month, we revealed our new scale of animal-free testing. As we’ve discussed, in vitro testing doesn’t automatically mean animal-product-free and the scale is intended to help organisations distinguish between the different levels of animal products...
