As 2025 draws to a close:
This quarter caps a year of significant progress in advancing non-animal sensitization testing and closing critical data gaps. Combing genomics and machine leaning, GARD® continues to deliver solutions for Safe Dose Levels, Medical Devices, and Challenging Chemicals—driving the shift toward reliable, human-relevant approaches.

How do you establish safe dose levels for sensitizers during product development? 
This question has been front and center at international conferences and webinars this quarter, including ICT and ASCCT, where we’ve shared insights on GARD®skin Dose-Response—a unique method that delivers quantitative sensitization potency data as a stand-alone solution, without combining results from multiple tests. 

Applicability to challenging samples
A key discussion point: GARD® can address not only neat chemicals but also complex mixtures like UVCBs, natural extracts, formulations, and hydrophobic materials, making quantitative risk assessment robust for diverse applications.

Quantitative data gain momentum across industries    
Interest is growing across sectors, from cosmetics and chemicals to medical devices and now also high-tech industry, because this approach supports early screening of new ingredients and materials and enables safer, more efficient innovation.

Discover how GARD® enables the derivation of Points of Departure (PoDs) for Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA), and helps establish safe dose levels for identified sensitizers.

2129 Biocompatibility testing of medical devices
In vitro biocompatibility testing: a cost-efficient, human-relevant and ethical alternative 
New data on GARD®skin for Medical Devices was a key highlight at the Biocompatibility Conference in Berlin this November, underscoring how NAMs are gaining traction within ISO 10993. Our experts shared insights on integrating in vitro approaches into efficient biocompatibility strategies.

UK signals shift to non-animal testing  
The UK’s strategy to end regulatory animal testing for skin sensitization, irritation, and eye irritation by 2026 reflects the rapid move toward validated non-animal methods. SenzaGen supports this transition with GARD® for skin sensitization, as well as GLP-compliant skin and eye irritation testing, backed by scientific expertise and personalized guidance.
