ToxTracker event and launch party at SOT 2020
You are cordially invited to join the ToxTracker event and launch party during the SOT 2020 meeting in Anaheim. During this event we will launch new assays, software and the ToxTracker Academy. We will also update you on the latest developments around ToxTracker and its...
ToxTracker for regulatory applications
We are frequently asked whether ToxTracker data have ever been included in safety dossiers to the regulatory authorities. The answer is yes, but often this information is not publicly available. And in many cases we simply don’t know. But now there is an example available...
Winner of UKEMS Young Scientist Poster Award
We are very proud that our scientist Inger Brandsma won the UKEMS Young Scientist Poster Award for her poster ‘Extension of the ToxTracker reporter assay for classification of compounds with a clastogenic or aneugenic mode of action’ at BTS-UKEMS Congress 2019. ToxTracker ACE (Aneugen Clastogen Evaluation)...
Charles River and Toxys Enter Agreement to offer ToxTracker® in North America
Leiden, the Netherlands, January 30, 2019 – Charles River Laboratories International, Inc (NYSE: CRL) and Toxys have entered into an agreement to offer access to ToxTracker® in North America. ToxTracker is a suite of assays that allow rapid carcinogenicity toxicity hazard identification in novel and...
ToxTracker ACE: direct detection of clastogens and aneugens
We now enhanced the ToxTracker assay to discriminate clastogens from aneugens, and to classify aneugens as tubulin poisons or cell cycle kinase inhibitors. This extended version of the assay is named ToxTracker ACE (Aneugen Clastogen Evaluation). ToxTracker consists of 6 different reporter cell lines to detect...
European Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) includes ToxTracker for MoA assessment of cosmetics ingredients
The European Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) recently released their updated guidance document 'Notes of Guidance for the Testing of Cosmetic Ingredients and Their Safety Evaluation'. This document contains relevant information on the different aspects of testing and safety evaluation of cosmetic substances and...
New Animated ToxTracker Video
ToxTracker is a stem cell-based reporter assay for detection of genotoxicity and other cancer-related chemical properties of compounds. See below to play our new video to gain a detailed understanding of the various steps of the ToxTracker protocol and how the assay is performed in our...
Greatly improved metabolising system for ToxTracker
5 July 2018 - ToxTracker is an in vitro assay that provides detailed insight into the mode-of-action of genotoxic compounds. The assay is generally performed in the absence and presence of a metabolising system. Metabolic activation of compounds is included following the industry standard by...
Collaboration with Health Canada and University of Swansea to implement quantitative analysis of ToxTracker results for human risk assessment
Toxys has started a collaboration with Health Canada and the University of Swansea to implement the Quantitative Analysis tool PROAST for ToxTracker results. There is growing interest in quantitative analysis of in vitro genetic toxicity dose‐response data, and use of point‐of‐departure (PoD) metrics such as the...
Toxys at SOT 2018 recap
Toxys had a busy program at the SOT 2018, next to the poster presentations and presentation at the Charles River sponsored session we organised our first ToxTracker workshop. First ToxTracker workshop Approximately 65 people have joined our first ToxTracker workshop. The workshop was started with a presentation...
