MicroFlow Flow MNT Test

SERVICE INFORMATION

Conducted in a miniaturised format and using flow cytometry to score both micronuclei and cytotoxicity, the flow micronucleus assay provides a rapid prediction of the in vitro micronucleus test. The miniaturised format enables the study to be performed using far fewer test items than an OECD 487 study, resulting in more responsive delivery timelines.
