Helping you fulfil the requirements of the global regulatory requirements for assessment of potential endocrine disrupting substances

In recent years the emerging area of concern for impact on human and environmental health has been the potential for chemical substances and mixtures to affect the endocrine systems of mammals and non-mammalian species.

The effects of certain substances and compounds which inhibit the actions of naturally occurring hormones have become a central point of focus for the scientific community and an area of concern for the wider public.

In response to these concerns Eurofins has been at the forefront of developing specific tests to address the questions that concern the chemical industry, government and non-government organisations and the wider public and prides itself on being the go-to Contract Research Organisation for such tests.

Eurofins Agroscience Services is able to offer all studies from the physical chemical data through to in vitro approaches and if required complex multigenerational and long term studies with vertebrates and invertebrates.

Following studies under GLP are offered in the facility in Niefern-Öschelbronn, Germany:
