Mutagenicity Assays and Reagents​

Mutagenicity testing plays a crucial role in understanding the genetic safety of drugs, and environmental samples. By identifying agents that can induce genetic mutations, researchers can assess potential risks to human health and the environment.

Mutagenicity testing is essential for:

  • Pharmaceutical Development: Ensuring the safety of drug candidates by identifying genotoxic impurities
  • Chemical Safety Assessment: Evaluating industrial chemicals and agrochemicals for potential mutagenic properties
  • Environmental Monitoring: Detecting mutagens in water, soil, and air samples to safeguard ecosystems and public health

At Krishgen Biosystems, we provide specialized solutions for mutagenicity assays, featuring high-quality products from Moltox, a leader in environmental and genetic toxicology tools.
