These products also hinder reproducibility, complicate regulatory compliance, and impact the quality of your research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2016, the term &#8216;New Approach Methodologies (NAMs)&#8217; was coined for the use of modern, non-animal, human-relevant scientific tools and technologies to evaluate the safety of chemicals, drugs, and consumer products. The importance of adopting these practices has recently been accelerated by the worldwide integration of NAMs into regulatory frameworks since 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By moving away from animal-derived components, you can significantly reduce variability and improve the consistency of your experiments. These advanced, ethical alternatives promote better outcomes and support more sustainable and scalable research practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, we understand that changing from tried-and-true methods can be daunting. At <strong>Caltag<\/strong>, we offer a range of <strong>animal- and xeno-free products<\/strong> from trusted suppliers to support your research.
