Better understanding of genotox laboratories
Genotox laboratories play a critical role in today’s pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food, and chemical industries, helping companies identify and manage potential genotoxic risks at every stage of product development. But what exactly does a genotox laboratory do, and how do advanced labs like GenEvolutioN make a difference?
What are genotox laboratories?
A genotox laboratory is a specialized facility equipped to assess the genotoxic potential of chemicals, ingredients, and finished products. Genotoxicity refers to a substance’s ability to damage genetic information in cells, leading to mutations, chromosomal aberrations, or even cancer. Regulatory agencies worldwide (EMA, FDA, OECD) now require thorough genotoxicity testing for many consumer and industrial products.
The core services of genotox laboratories
- In vitro genotoxicity assays: tests such as the Ames test, micronucleus assay, and chromosomal aberration studies are performed to quickly screen for DNA damage without animal testing.
- In vivo genotoxicity studies: for regulatory submission, certain products require additional in vivo analysis to confirm safety.
- Nitrosamine impurity detection: with growing concern around nitrosamines—carcinogenic impurities—genotox labs help identify, quantify, and manage these risks.
- Consulting and regulatory support: genotox laboratories offer expert guidance to navigate complex regulatory requirements and ensure full compliance.
