Replacement

Replacement occurs when experiments involving live animals (animals comprised by the Danish Animal Protection Act) are replaced with experiments that do not use whole, living vertebrates.

Replacement could therefore entail experiments using:

Cells or isolated organs
Dead vertebrates
Invertebrates (except for cephalopods), plants or microorganisms
Synthetic or electronic materials and
Human volunteers
