General
Research without harming animals
Innovative in vitro methods deliver - in contrast to the animal experiment - reliable, easily reproducable results, and besides these tests are more sensitive, cheaper and faster than tests on the living animal.

The 3R principle wants to improve animal research by replacement, reduction or refinement. However, animal experiments must not only be rejected for moral reasons, but also because they are scientifically unsound methods that deliver false or non-transferable results.
