Higher-tier aquatic toxicity testing

Using our in-house aquatic ecotoxicology testing facilities, we conduct higher-tier studies tailored to meet our clients’ specific needs. All experimental designs are based on the regulatory question and a thorough analysis of the existing dataset. We have indoor laboratories and outdoor mesocosms. We understand the importance of study design and high-quality data for addressing your regulatory requirements. We are experienced in conducting good-laboratory-practice (GLP) and non-GLP trials.

Higher-tier laboratory studies (single and multispecies)

• Non-standard species testing
• Species sensitivity distributions
• Modified (pulsed) exposure
• Calibration and validation studies for TKTD modelling
• Indoor microcosm studies
• Associated statistical analysis

Outdoor mesocosm studies to address data gaps

• 199 outdoor aquatic mesocosms
• Bespoke mesocosm design that meet the requirements of the EFSA (2013) aquatic guidance, including MDD analysis
• In-house taxonomic identification of freshwater species
