Xenometrix AG – Swiss Commitment for Bioassays

Our vision is to provide high Swiss quality and efficient mutagenicity and cytotoxicity test systems.

Xenometrix AG, Switzerland, develops, produces, distributes Bioassays, such as the Ames mutagenicity assays “Ames MPF” and “Ames II” in an automatable liquid microplate format with ready to use reagents. Ames MPF and Ames II use 12 times less rat liver S9, thus redicing test animals according to the 3R’s principles. Rapid, highly-sensitive BioAssay combined YES (estrogen) and YAS (androgen) test kits for the determination of hormonally active compounds in environmental, chemical and cosmetic samples and ex vivo human skin or reconstructed skin models for skin permeation, skin penetration or irritation studies.

"Xenometrix was founded in June 1995 in Allschwil, Switzerland. Since then scientists, specialized in the field of Cell Biology, Biochemistry, Immunology have joined the company. A worldwide network of distributors has been established as well as a network for service analytics under GLP and non GLP conditions.Our vision is excellence in quality and service for bioassays like the Ames test, the endocrine disruptor assays, skin absorption tests or cytotoxicity test systems. Xenometrix products are made for the use in molecular pharmacology, early stages of drug discovery, screening of chemicals, agrochemical, biocides, cosmetics, alimentary and for testing environmental water, soil, air or effluents."
