In vitro

Latin, meaning "in a glass". Used to describe medical experiments carried out on cell cultures or isolated organs or body fluids, outside a living animal, as opposed to in vivo. Results from in vitro experiments must be judged based on how close to a physiological system the experiment has been performed.
