3t3 Nru Phototoxicity Test (Animal Studies) 
An alternative method to animal studies developed with the involvement of Bayer: the skin can be rendered more sensitive to light by certain chemicals and drugs. Animal studies have previously been used to test for this adverse effect. The 3T3 NRU phototoxicity test makes such animal studies redundant, because it is an in vitro test: skin cells are exposed to ultraviolet light in a Petri dish. The OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) accepted this test in 2003 in its test procedure OECD 432, 3T3 NRU test.
