Services
Laboratory and field ecotoxicology studies for regulatory submissions covering aquatic invertebrates, fish, aquatic plants, non‑target arthropods, soil organisms, pollinators and non‑target plants.
Aerobic/anaerobic transformation studies, hydrolysis, phototransformation, adsorption/desorption and bioaccumulation assessments in water, soil, sediment and manure.
Method development and validation for active substances and formulations in complex matrices plus analytical dose verification during studies using high‑sensitivity instrumentation.
Design and execution of field trials (earthworm, collembolan, bird and mammal studies) and higher‑tier laboratory systems to support refined risk assessments.
Mechanistic and probabilistic modelling services to translate laboratory and field data into quantitative risk assessments for regulators and stakeholders.
Advisory and study‑execution services to generate data required for registrations across major jurisdictions, following current national and international guidance documents.
