If you are a non-GB based manufacturer or formulator your OR must submit analytical data generated from a sample manufactured by you or your non-GB based manufacturer for an Article 26 inquiry under UK REACH:

An inquiry dossier should contain information:

- about the potential registrant

- about the identity of the inquired substance

- where the potential registrant would need to carry out new studies, including those involving vertebrate animals.

LAUS can support you with both, the OR service and the generation of the analytical data for the substance identity.

LAUS will be visiting Chemspec in Franfurt on May 31 and June 1. We offer GLP testing for regulatory purposes as e.g. for the registration of your chemicals under REACH, for CLP/GHS and much more.

This will be a good opportunity to meet and to discuss upcoming projects which require testing/experimental endpoints.

If you are interessted, please, contact us for an appointment. We are looking forward to meeting you in Frankfurt!

LAUS testing ABC:

V for Vapour Pressure

LAUS is the leading GLP lab for the determination of the Vapour Pressure using the Effusion Method (Knudsen Cell) according to OECD 104 / EU A.4. We are able to measure vapour pressures as low as 10E-12 Pa.

This method is based on the estimation of the mass of test substance flowing out per unit of time of a Knudsen cell under ultra-vacuum conditions. The mass of effused vapour is then being obtained by weighing the cell. Data are being collected between 30 – 150 °C, values for 20 and 25 °C are being calculated.

By operating two custom produced measuring apparatuses in parallel we have very high capacities and minimum delays. With more than 20 years of experience, we offer our advice even for difficult substances.

The Vapour Pressure is a key physico-chemical parameter for the assessment of a substance. It provides an indication of the evaporation rate and relates to the tendency of particles to escape from the liquid or solid phase. A substance with a high vapor pressure at room temperature is considered as volatile.

According to its “Progress in evaluation 2021” report ECHA performed 300 full compliance checks (CCHs) and 227 testing proposal examinations (TPEs) and issued 467 draft decisions: 280 on the abovementioned compliance checks and  187 on testing proposal examinations. That means 93% of dossiers require additional information.

Number of requests in 278 compliance check decisions:

• Mutagenicity/Genotoxicity 260
• Long-term aquatic toxicity 344
• Physico-chemical properties 60

Number of requests in 165 testing proposal decisions 79/41/8

• Mutagenicity/Genotoxicity 79
• Long-term aquatic toxicity 41
• Physico-chemical properties 8

LAUS has a great team with particular expertise in these areas and a lot of experience with difficult substances. If you are concerned and need additional data, don’t hesitate to contact us.

We want to ensure a sustainable junior staff development.

LAUS is certified by IHK (Industrie- und Handelskammer) to provide dual vocational training in cooperation with vocational schools.

It is important to us to support an active lifestyle. That's why we sponsor fencing, here at the DFB qualification tournament on January 29th in Mainz. In times of a pandemic, these opportunities are very valuable, certainly considering all necessary protective measures.
