Toxicity studies of agarwood essential oil in vero cells using electrical impedance sensor

Natural products have traditionally been used for medicinal purposes in Asian communities. Toxicity studies typically use animal testing to predict the harmfulness of a particular substance to human health. For this study, in lieu of animal testing, we utilized cell-based biosensors to evaluate the...
