title = "The cytotoxic assessment of carbon adsorbents",
abstract = "A colony formation assay was used to assess the cytotoxic potential of a medical grade activated carbon adsorbent. It was observed that during extraction the adsorbent removed foetal calf serum (FCS) and other nutrients from the cell growth medium, making them unavailable to the cells during colony growth stage. The carbon adsorbent investigated was also found to be suitable for use in an extracorporeal device, for treatment of sepsis or acute renal failure. The results show that when carrying out cytotoxicity testing on highly porous adsorbent material, such as activated carbon, the methodology must be adapted to take into account the unusual material properties.",
