EURL ECVAM dataset on alternative methods to animal experimentation (DB-ALM)

QR code

DB-ALM dataset is a publicly accessible collection of alternative method summaries and protocols. DB-ALM focuses primarily on methods submitted to EURL ECVAM for validation, and those identified in ad hoc reviews of the literature and end-users in specific application areas between 2000 and 2019.

All method summaries and protocols can be searched in an intuitive web interface and then retrieved individually, but they can also be downloaded completely for flexible perusal on a local PC. Search criteria include topic areas, biological endpoints, experimental systems, and others.
