Aquatic and Terrestrial Ecotoxicity

ChemService's experience in the preparation of UVCB assays according to the OECD 23 guideline and the experience of LabAnalysis in environmental and pharmaceutical matrices, have allowed to expand the offer of ecotoxicological assays on a wide range of matrices to be tested, from crop protection products, waste, end-of-waste products and pharmaceuticals.

We revolutionized our water production plant and the recent implementation of the new test system for fish also allow long-term tests to be performed, starting from the embryonic stage of the fish up to development (FET, FELS). Furthermore, it is possible to carry out tests for the definition of the potential of chemicals as endocrine disruptors (Endocrine Disruptors).
