Introducing INVITTOX: The ERGATT/FRAME In Vitro Toxicology Data Bank

Abstract

ERGATT and FRAME have established INVITTOX, a unique data bank on the use of in vitro techniques in toxicology and toxicity testing. The principal aim of INVITTOX is to provide state-of-the-art, in-depth technical information on the performance and application of in vitro methods, gained directly from scientists working in this field. Information will also be recorded on the history of the development of each method and on its current status with regard to interlaboratory validation, independent evaluation, and recognised acceptability for use in toxicology and toxicity testing. Enquiries should be directed to INVITTOX, 34 Stoney Street, Nottingham NG1 1NB, UK (Tel: 0602 584740; Fax: 0602 503570).
