Some Limits of Biocompatibility Testing for Lipophilic Leachates

Medical device standards recommend using both a polar and non-polar solvent to extract materials prior to in vitro testing.  Testing lipophilic extract in cell culture systems is limited by the toxicity of the lipophilic solvents used in extraction. Use of agar overlay and direct contact methods do...
