In-Vitro, (Latin: in-glass) is a test or study performed on micro-organisms, tissues, or other organic matter, outside of its natural environment. In-vitro diagnostics (IVDs) are tests that analyze samples of human blood or other tissues from the body. These tests are regulated as medical devices in the United States by the Food and Drug Administration, and in Canada by Health Canada.
