Innovative Research Without Animal Testing

The Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation in Stuttgart, in collaboration with Beiersdorf and BRAND Inserts, has recently introduced a groundbreaking animal-free testing solution. This new method replicates human skin reactions to test substances and measures immune responses in real-time without damaging cells. This innovation allows for the testing of cosmetics, chemicals, and other substances for skin compatibility, ensuring a completely animal-free process. The BRAND Inserts play a critical role by supporting the formation of a natural skin barrier and providing precise, cost-effective test results, paving the way for ethical and safe research practices. For researchers working in cell and tissue culture, solutions from BRANDTECH Insert 2in1 offer versatile, reliable tools that support a range of applications, including skin model production and 3D epithelium cultures, contributing to the advancement of humane and effective testing methods.
