We have done extensive work with Ciba Expert Services. They have done a lot of the hazards testing for us and are involved in doing the REACH suite of testing for a number of materials for us. We evaluated a number of companies and they where our pick after some rigorous screening. During the evaluation I did notice that they had a lot of experience with different forms of chemistry and they maybe very suited to help you with your challenge.

Everyone, 

My company is looking to perform some toxicity testing on some of our monomers for the dental industry (not FDA testing).& nbsp; Does anyone know of good companies that perform such testing?

We had also looked at this particular test< /P>

ISO 7405:2008 contains a cytotoxicity test method common to the dental industry.

Are there any others that are recommended?  Is this a good test to have done?  I appreciate any insight you may have in this area.

Thanks,

Jessica Whiteley
