| Review and Validation |
| Pre-validation |
Process to ensure that any method included in a formal validation study adequately fulfils the criteria defined for inclusion in such a study, so that financial and human resources are used more efficiently, and so that there is a greater likelihood that the expectations of those in the scientific, regulatory and animal welfare communities, who seek the replacement of current animal tests by relevant and reliable alternative methods, will be met.
It usually consists of three main phases:
protocol refinement, protocol transfer, and protocol performance but other methodologies as a modular approach can also be applied |
