Your Submission. Our Science.
Every Lebrun Labs test report is formatted for regulatory submission. OptiSafe EIT is validated under OECD TG 496 and accepted by the EPA OCSPP 870 series. DermaSafe SCT and IVD EIT are NIH-funded nonanimal methods validated against OECD reference chemicals — making your compliance pathway straightforward and defensible.
Specialized Research Services
Nonanimal ocular, dermal, and biochemical research across eight human tissue compartments: skin, ocular, hepatic, pulmonary, intestinal, renal, neuronal, and cardiac, using both established cell lines and primary human cells.
Ophthalmic & OcularOcular Studies
Mechanistic efficacy and dose-response toxicity profiling of candidate ophthalmic compounds, eye area cosmetics, and ocular-contact materials using both validated cell-free macromolecular platforms and human ocular cell-based models. Delivers quantitative irritation classification, injury-severity scoring, and cytotoxicity data.
Skin & TopicalDermal Studies
Comprehensive cytotoxicity, corrosion, and irritation assessment of active pharmaceutical ingredients, excipients, and topical formulations using both cell-free InChemico™ biochemical platforms and human cell-based models, including primary keratinocytes, fibroblasts, and reconstructed tissue.
Custom PlatformsAssay Development
Custom design and validation of in chemico, in vitro, ex vivo and biochemical assay platforms.

The OptiSafe Eye Irritation Test™ (OptiSafe EIT™)
Eye irritation test for regulatory use (OECD 496). The OptiSafe EIT™ is highly sensitive and the best choice for eye area cosmetics and personal care products, except those containing metal oxides (e.g., zinc oxide, metals in eyeshadows), which should be tested with IVD EIT. Kits are available at inchemico.co.

Now Available!The In Vitro Depth of Injury™ Eye Irritation Test (IVD EIT™)
The only nonanimal test able to discriminate "Eye Protection Required" vs. no labeling required, distinguishing Globally Harmonized System (GHS) categories NC and 2B from 2A and 1. Broad sensitivity covers the full product spectrum, from cosmetics to strong industrial solvents. High mechanistic relevance makes it a strong choice for ocular drug studies.
Developed by Lebrun Labs
Now Available!The DermaSafe Skin Corrosion Test™ (DermaSafe SCT™)
The DermaSafe SCT™ is a nonanimal test that can be used to classify the dermal corrosivity of consumer products and industrial chemicals. Results are often used to support Globally Harmonized System (GHS) safety labeling, product documentation and assign Department of Transportation (DOT) packing groups. The test evaluates the extent of dermal corrosion and relates this to regulatory classifications.
