Ecotoxicological testing
Our services
Before new substances can be authorized and marketed, ecotoxicological tests must be performed. But which studies are really necessary? How can tests be performed in a particularly efficient manner? We support you throughout the process of ecotoxicological testing - from advice and test performance to the evaluation and interpretation of results. We thus provide you with important information for assessing the risks associated with your substances and assist you with the timely authorization of new products. These services are also provided for testing all kinds of existing chemicals as well.
Your advantages
- We create the basis for the successful authorization and marketing of your new products.
- By providing advice on whether tests are actually needed, we prevent the performance of unnecessary studies, thus saving you time and money. In this way, we help reduce the time to market of your new products.
- Our tests provide important information on the environmental impact of substances. This allows very accurate prediction of the risks and costs associated with production, marketing and disposal.
Our strengths
We provide measured data and interpretation of test results, taking into account all legal requirements.
Our studies are recognized by the authorities, which reduces the number of queries and additional expense.
