Ecotoxicology testing services

Comprehensive, reliable, and regulatory-ready ecotoxicology studies

At Eurofins Agroscience Services India, we provide a full spectrum of aquatic and terrestrial ecotoxicology studies to evaluate the environmental impact of chemicals on various species. Our expertise spans a wide range of test organisms, all meticulously characterised and maintained under optimal conditions including temperature-controlled environments for sensitive species to ensure scientifically valid and reproducible results.

Our ecotoxicology testing capabilities include

Aquatic ecotoxicology

• Acute toxicity to fish, daphnia, algae, and lemna
• Fish embryo acute toxicity test
• Fish early-life stage toxicity test
• Fish short-term toxicity test on embryo and sac-fry stages
• Fish juvenile growth test
• Chironomus immobilisation test 
• Daphnia reproduction test
• Water-sediment myriophyllum spicatum toxicity test
• Bioaccumulation in fish: aqueous and dietary exposure

Terrestrial ecotoxicology

• Acute toxicity to earthworms, honeybees (oral and contact), and birds
• Avian dietary and reproduction toxicity tests
• Earthworm reproduction test
• Collembola reproduction test
• Honeybee larval toxicity tests (single and repeated exposure)
• Honeybee chronic oral toxicity test
• Terrestrial plant tests (seedling emergence and growth test and vegetative vigour test)
• Silkworm acute toxicity test
• Soil microorganism tests including nitrogen and carbon transformation
• Activated sludge respiration inhibition test

Dose formulation analysis

Dose formulations prepared for ecotoxicology studies are analysed for:

• Concentration verification
• Stability

Our services include method development and validation for accurate analysis of:

• Terrestrial studies 
• Aquatic studies  

Dose confirmation is performed throughout toxicology, ecotoxicology, and genotoxicology studies to ensure data quality and regulatory compliance.

Why choose Eurofins Agroscience Services India for ecotoxicology studies?

• Experienced team: Studies are conducted by highly qualified and skilled scientists with deep expertise in aquatic and terrestrial ecotoxicology.
• Advanced analytical capabilities: Our laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art instruments including LC-MS/MS (liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry), GC-MS/MS (gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry), and ICP-MS (inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry), ensuring highly sensitive detection of test substances in different matrices.
• Dedicated facilities: We maintain separate analytical laboratories and glassware cleaning areas minimise the risk of cross-contamination.
• Robust method development: We specialise in developing and validating analytical methods capable of detecting test items at extremely low concentrations, including challenging unstable and low-solubility substances, as well as UVCB (unknown or variable composition, complex reaction products, or biological materials), whether mono-component or multi-component in nature.
• Dose confirmation expertise: We perform precise dose verification using validated analytical methods that account for matrix-effect, ensuring reliable outcomes in ecotoxicology studies.
