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...
ToxTracker applied for testing Cobalt nanoparticles
In collaboration with scientists at the Karolinska institute and KTH in Sweden, we recently published a paper about application of ToxTracker for genotoxicity testing of Cobalt nanoparticles. There is a growing demand for fast and reliable assays to identify nanoparticle-induced toxicity and underlying mechanisms. In the...

Poster together with Concawe presented at the SOT 2017: Use of ToxTracker for Petrochemical products
The goal of this project was to investigate whether the ToxTracker assay can be applied to petroleum UVCBs as a high-content screen for mutagenicity / carcinogenicity by testing by testing twelve DMSO extracts of petroleum substances for (geno)toxic properties in the assay. Conclusions: The ToxTracker assay...
Poster together with P&G presented at the SOT 2017: use of multiparametric mode of action approaches for genetic toxicity assessment
This poster describes the investigation of several different predictive, animal-free genetic toxicology methodologies with varying degrees of complexity. The predictive capacity of these methods was compared by testing 22 chemicals that represent a mix of DNA reactive chemicals, chemicals with known, mixed or unknown modes...
