PEVITAC

PEVITAC (Physicochemical, Ex Vivo and Invertebrate Tests and Analysis Centre) was founded by Prof Vitaliy Khutoryanskiy and Dr Roman Moiseev and is based at the University of Reading. It has a unique set of expertise and specialised equipment to evaluate the muco- and bioadhesive, toxicological, physicochemical and mechanical properties of various chemicals, materials and formulations. We can offer a range of unique assays that can be used for testing. These include slug mucosal irritancy test, planaria skin irritancy test, fluorescence-based flow-through assay for evaluating retention of formulations on different surfaces and many other methods useful for testing various formulations and samples.
