Designed for the study of the sensitising potential of ingredients, the SENS-IS test measures the over-expression of biomarkers relevant for sensitisation processes on reconstituted human epidermis. It has improved performance over other in vitro sensitisation assays in predicting hazard and estimating potency of sensitising potential.
More importantly, topical application, on epidermis reconstructed from human cells, makes SENS-IS a test of choice for evaluating the sensitising potential of formulations and, indeed, a promising candidate for an alternative to HRIPT.
