Hi. One of my friends is a vegan (yes, i know, but that's not the point) and she's very interested in product testing on animals...Namely, technology that can replicate it. See, she's looking for more information on how technology, machines or otherwise, might be as accurate of measuring devices than test animals.

I want to help her really bad, and I want to give her some info as sort of a late xmas gift...can anyone give me ANY information? Keywords I might want to try? Names of machines? Websites?
 
Computer science news on Phys.org
Here is a website that lists a large number of animal alternative testing information sites. http://www.animaland.org/asp/realissues/testing10.asp

Not machines, but alternatives such as Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) test
