Eotoxicology and biodegradability |

|
 |
Ecotoxicological studies deal with potential influences on waterways through chemicals, crop protection agents, biocides, animal and human drugs and not with target areas with their flora and fauna. The corresponding results of these studies are used in environmental risk assessments within the scope of the registration process for substances and products. These tests are conducted according to the principles of Good Laboratory Practice (GLP).
SGS INSTITUT FRESENIUS is accredited according to DIN EN ISO/EC 17025 and is GLP certified for a wide range of corresponding test procedures. |
We have particular experience in the area of problem substances that are poorly soluble in water, highly volatile and/or coloured.
Because there are several experienced residue analytical laboratories within SGS INSTITUT FRESENIUS, we can offer specific test substance identification tests and concentration determinations as required.
Our range of services:
