As one of the most demanding toxicological analyses, it is a prerequisite for marketing authorization in both Europe and Switzerland. At <strong>Lel\u00e9gard Laboratories<\/strong>, We are sponsoring this test in accordance with the guideline. <strong>OECD 471<\/strong>, the official standard adopted by regulatory authorities, and we provide a comprehensive report that can be used immediately in your <strong>Product Information File (PIF)<\/strong> or <strong>Product Information File (PIF)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"content-visibility-auto\">\n<p>Our expertise is based on several pillars:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"content-visibility-auto\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Specialized skills<\/strong>\u202fOur teams are made up of experienced toxicologists, including an active member of the <strong>Swiss Society of Toxicology<\/strong>, ensuring in-depth knowledge of Swiss and European market requirements.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Adaptation to natural and biotechnological materials<\/strong>\u202fWe understand the specific characteristics of natural raw materials and biotech-derived active ingredients, which are subject to increased scrutiny by European, Swiss, and UK authorities.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fast turnaround times and personalized follow-up<\/strong>\u202fWe offer competitive response times, combined with dedicated support throughout the process, so that each brand can build a solid, compliant, and actionable case in both jurisdictions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Ames test principle is based on exposing specific bacterial strains (usually <em>Salmonella Typhimurium<\/em> or <em>Escherichia coli<\/em>) to the substance being studied. If the substance has mutagenic potential, it will induce an increase in the rate of bacterial mutation reversion, detectable in the form of resistant colonies. This method, which is both simple to implement and extremely sensitive, can detect even slight genotoxic effects, thus providing an accurate assessment of genetic risk.<\/p>\n<p>In Switzerland, where authorities pay particular attention to the safety of natural ingredients, the Ames test is often an essential prerequisite for validating a new raw material or innovative active ingredient before it can be incorporated into a cosmetic or pharmaceutical formula. By combining scientific rigor, regulatory compliance, and operational responsiveness, <strong>Lel\u00e9gard Laboratories<\/strong> gives you complete control over the process, allowing you to market your products with confidence, both in Switzerland and within the European Union.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Le Test d\u2019Ames\u202f: un gage de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 g\u00e9n\u00e9tique pour vos ingr\u00e9dients et produits finis Le Test d\u2019Ames repr\u00e9sente aujourd\u2019hui l\u2019un des outils les plus fiables et largement reconnus \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9chelle internationale pour attester de l\u2019absence de risque mutag\u00e8ne d\u2019un ingr\u00e9dient ou d\u2019un produit fini.
