The laboratory-cultured models of human skin, called EST-1000 and AST-2000 were developed by CellSystems and contain cells manufactured by Lifeline. These three-dimensional skin cell models are used as alternative methods to animal testing in the field of skin corrosion, skin irritation, skin sensitization, genotoxicity and phototoxicity.
