Degradation, metabolism and accumulation in soil or manure
We generate regulatory-ready data on substance transformation, mobility, and persistence in soil and manure, covering key pathways and processes.
Environmental Fate
Complete range of environmental fate solutions - radiolabelled and nonlabelled - across both field and laboratory environments
These studies provide critical insights into how substances break down, move, and transform, enabling robust assessments of environmental impact. Our seasoned scientific teams conduct all work under the most up to date OECD, and EPA guidelines, ensuring regulatory ready data packages.
With advanced laboratory infrastructure, climate controlled chambers and glasshouse capabilities, and state-of-the-art analytical systems - including radio TLC, radio HPLC, HPLCUV, GCMS, HPLCMS/MS, accurate mass spectrometry, and NMR - we offer comprehensive metabolite and degradation pathway characterisation. Confined outdoor plot areas further support high-quality field fate investigations.
