Happening outside the living organism (2,5)

I believe the answer is:

in vitro

(Other definitions for in vitro that I've seen before include "Taking place in a test tube (Latin)" , "Made to occur outside body (of biological process)" , "Via a test tube" , "Done in a test tube" , "Having unusual conception" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
