CHRONIC SYSTEMIC TOXICITY<br />
Rev. May 2011<br />
AJ01-1<br />
PURPOSE: In-vivo systemic toxicity tests evaluate the impairment or activation of a system – rather than the impairment<br />
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 />
