What Are the Common In Vitro Assays in Nanotechnology?
Several types of assays are commonly used in in vitro testing of nanomaterials, including:
Cytotoxicity Assays: These tests measure the degree to which nanomaterials can damage or kill cells. Genotoxicity Assays: These assays assess the potential of nanomaterials to cause genetic mutations or DNA damage. Oxidative Stress Assays: These tests evaluate the capability of nanomaterials to induce oxidative stress, which can lead to cellular damage. Inflammatory Response Assays: These assays measure the inflammatory reactions induced by nanomaterials. Cell Uptake Studies: These studies analyze how cells internalize nanomaterials.
