of individual cells or organs. In systemic toxicity tests, the material (extract) is tested for systemic toxic effects of longterm<br />

exposures, a minimum of six months duration.<br />

26-Week Chronic Toxicity Study-Sample needed: To be determined<br />

Approximate turnaround time is thirty-four to thirty-six weeks.<br />
