In vitro toxicity testing is the scientific study of the effects of toxic chemical materials on cultured bacteria or mammalian cells. In vitro testing methods are applied primarily to determine potentially hazardous chemicals and/or to assure the lack of certain toxic properties in the early stages of the development of potentially useful new substances such as therapeutic drugs, agricultural chemicals and food additives.
