Cell Function Research
In Vitro Phospholipidosis Screening
We perform in vitro phospholipidosis screening tests in CHL cells. Please contact us for more information.
Phospholipidosis Amiodarone 10μmol/L
Phospholipidosis Control
In Vitro Hepatotoxicity Screening
We perform hepatotoxicity screening tests in primary cultured hepatocytes of various species based on experience in rat primary cultured hepatocytes and human cultured hepatocytes through the Toxicogenomics Project in Japan (2002-2006). Please contact us for more information.
Hepatotoxicity CCl4 5000 μmol/L
Hepatotoxicity Control
Photocytotoxicity Tests
We perform GLP tests in compliance with the OECD guideline 432 and screening tests with high throughputs.
New Research Field
Cellomics® ArrayScanVTI
Development of new evaluation system for cardiotoxicityWe have been engaging in development of highly functional test systems using human stem cell-derived myocardial cells, which can replace existing methods (hERG-HEK test and APD measurement using animal heart), in collaboration with universities.
- Development of new evaluation system for hepatotoxicity
We are also engaging in development of highly functional in vitro test systems for hepatotoxicity in collaboration with universities.
- Development of High-Content Screening Methods
We have newly introduced Cellomics ArrayScan® VTI (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.). This instrument allows evaluations of function changes in each cell over desired features and time course to meet the needs of clients.
All of our research and studies are in strict adherence to the laws concerning protection and management of animals with full respect of the standards concerning care and management of test animals, and have been accepted and certified for animal welfare practices.
