Environmental Fate
Eurofins Regulatory Science Services has more than 40 years of analytical expertise in identifying and quantifying test substances in soil, water, and other complex matrices to provide complete environmental fate testing services.
In addition to our unparalleled scientific e-fate expertise, Eurofins Regulatory Science Services offers the convenience and efficiency of seamless program management. Our veteran staff of analytical chemists, structural elucidation chemists, and study directors is well versed in United States, Canadian, European Union and Japanese test guidelines. We have extensive experience adapting study designs to guidelines for chemicals with unusual physical/chemical properties such as extreme hydrophobicity, volatility, or instability under normal test conditions.
Our laboratories are equipped with highly-accurate mass HPLC/MS instruments to rapidly identify metabolites, and are licensed to work with radiotracers. Through Eurofins’ global laboratory network, we offer custom radiolabeling synthesis services to support radiolabeled studies.
Our environmental fate capabilities include:
- Metabolism and rates in soils and sediments: aerobic, anaerobic, and aquatic (with and without 14C labeling)
- Soil sorption and mobility: adsorption/desorption and column leaching studies
- Soil volatility
- Tobacco pyrolysis
- Hydrolysis: at various pH values and temperatures
- Photolysis:
