If these are new monomers you may want to investigate whether or not
they should be submitted to EPA as Premanufacture Notice.

Everyone,

My company is looking to perform some toxicity testing on some of our
monomers for the dental industry (not FDA testing).  Does anyone know of
good companies that perform such testing?

We had also looked at this particular test
ISO 7405:2008 contains a cytotoxicity test method common to the dental
industry.

Are there any others that are recommended?  Is this a good test to have
done?  I appreciate any insight you may have in this area.

Thanks,
