Abstract
The issue of preclinical testing of medical materials and drugs using automated bioreactors and perfusion dynamic in vitro systems as alternatives to animal models within the 3R principle (Replacement, Reduction, Refinement) is considered. The advantages of such systems are discussed: physiological relevance, control of parameters, reduction of costs and ethical risks. Developments of the Institute of Physiology of the NAS of Belarus are described – bioreactors for modeling antibiotic therapy and testing orthopedic materials.
