Metabolism studies in plants & biological matrices
Metabolism studies in plants and biological matrices
Accurate, compliant, and insightful data for your regulatory and development needs
At Eurofins Agroscience Services India, we specialise in delivering comprehensive metabolism studies using advanced 14C radiolabelled molecules in fully Good Laboratory Practice (GLP)-compliant facilities. Understanding the absorption, translocation, and metabolic fate of chemicals in plants, soils, sediments, and animals is critical for regulatory approvals, safety assessments, and product stewardship.
Our metabolism study capabilities
We conduct a broad range of metabolism studies to characterise how chemicals behave and transform in different biological and environmental matrices:
- Plant metabolism: Absorption, translocation, and metabolic profiling within crops
- Soil and sediment: Rate and route of chemical degradation in complex ecosystems
- Animal and livestock systems: Metabolism, tissue distribution, and excretion analysis
Our state-of-the-art plant growth chambers, cages, and simulation incubators are specifically designed to replicate realistic biological environments for accurate metabolism assessment.
Advanced analytical techniques
We apply a suite of cutting-edge technologies to quantify residues and identify metabolites with precision, including:
- Radio-HPLC (high-performance liquid chromatography)
- LSC (liquid scintillation counting)
- LC-MS/MS (liquid chromatography - tandem mass spectrometry)
- GC-MS (gas chromatography - mass spectrometry)
- Combustion and trap analysis
Why choose Eurofins Agroscience Services India?

Frequently Asked Questions ( FAQ )
Metabolism studies reveal how chemicals break down and move within plants and animals, providing critical data for assessing residue levels, toxicity, and environmental impact, all of which are key factors for regulatory approvals.
What advantages do radiolabelled molecules offer in metabolism studies?
Radiolabelled compounds enable precise tracking of chemical transformation and distribution even at very low concentrations, allowing for a comprehensive understanding of metabolic pathways.
Can you perform metabolism studies under GLP compliance?
Yes, all our metabolism studies are conducted under strict GLP conditions to ensure data quality and regulatory acceptance worldwide.
Do you offer metabolism studies in soil and sediment systems?
Absolutely. We evaluate the degradation rate and pathways of chemicals in both soil and sediment to assess environmental persistence and impact.
