The use of in vitro fertilization in the Frog Embryo Teratogenesis Assay in Xenopus (FETAX) and its applications to ecotoxicology.
The Frog Embryo Teratogenesis Assay in Xenopus (FETAX) is a powerful assay for the presence of developmental toxicants in the environment that uses Xenopus embryos. We have applied the test to evaluate a water purification system by testing and comparing the input and the output waters.
