Aquatic and Terrestrial Ecotoxicology
ABC Laboratories provides a full complement of ecotoxicological testing services required to demonstrate the specific, acute and chronic effects of chemicals on living organisms for global product submissions. A leader in ecotoxicology since 1973, ABC Laboratories' ecotoxicologists average 18 years of experience.
Our AAALAC-accredited laboratory provides testing of aquatic organisms under static, static-renewal and flow-through conditions with a wide array of freshwater and saltwater invertebrates and fish. In addition, our laboratory also supports testing of amphibians, earthworms, and non-target insects. ABC's sophisticated, self-regulating diluter systems and electronic monitoring assures stable aquatic exposures, ensuring valid test data generation. Our staff is highly experienced with testing low solubility compounds and other difficult to test substances.
Non-target terrestrial plants are tested in our greenhouse complex consisting of 8 individual units or in secure outdoor areas. All testing is supported by our state-of-the-art analytical laboratories.
