The Comet Assay

Benefits

As a tool for measuring genotoxicity, the comet assay offers unique flexibility by being applicable to virtually any cell type (in vitro or in vivo).  In knowledgable hands, the assay is a powerful predictor of carcinogenicity and other health effects where standard tests have proven to be ineffective.

Faster and more sensitive than standard assays, the comet assay is the most cost effect method for the detection of health risks during drug and chemical development, efficacy testing, environmental monitoring, and human exposure analysis.  And since the comet assay can be incorporated into standard assays, it can reduce the time and expense associated with testing while maximizing the information provided to determine risk.
