    Abstract: According to one aspect of the invention, there is provided an ellipsometry system for measuring any one or more of molecular binding, adsorption and desorption on a substrate, the system comprising: a) a cuvette comprising i) a body within which a cavity is formed and an opening on the body, wherein the cavity extends into the opening through which the substrate is immersed; ii) a window formed on each of two oppositely located walls of the body, wherein the windows are aligned to allow light to enter through one of the two windows to reflect off the portion of the substrate immersed in the cavity and exit through the other of the two windows; iii) a channel arrangement enclosed within the body of the cuvette and comprising two non-contiguous portions, wherein one of the two non-contiguous portions guides fluid into the cavity and the other non-contiguous portion guides fluid out of the cavity; b) a polarized light source disposed to provide the light that enters into one of the two windows on the body of the cuvette; and c) a detection stage disposed to receive the light that exits through the other of the two windows on the body of the cuvette, wherein the detection stage is configured to measure polarization rotation of the received light, the polarization rotation caused by any one or more of molecular binding, adsorption and desorption occurring on the substrate surface. The detection stage preferably contains a polarisation modulator, which is configured to measure polarization rotation of the received light.

    Abstract: There is provided an in vitro assay for screening a test compound for toxicity in renal proximal tubular cells. The method comprises contacting a test compound with a test population of renal proximal tubular cells; and examining one or more cell morphology features, examining one or more cytoskeleton features, and/or determining cell numbers of the renal proximal tubular cells in the test population and comparing such cell morphology, arrangement of cytoskeletal components and/or cell count with the respective features of a control population. A change in one or more cell morphology features, a change in arrangement of one or more cytoskeleton features or a decrease in cell numbers of the test population relative to the control population is indicative that the test compound is toxic for renal proximal tubular cells.
