LAUS offers terrestrial studies for detecting effects on ecosystems!

Terrestrial ecotoxicity studies of substances are of great importance because effects on target as well as on non-target organisms in the environmental compartment `soil` can be analysed and evaluated.

 

In the field of terrestrial toxicity LAUS covers:

  • OECD 207: Earthworm: Acute Toxicity Tests (Eisenia andrei)
  • OECD 222: Earthworm Reproduction Test (Eisenia andrei)
  • OECD 225: Sediment-Water Lumbriculus Toxicity Test Using Spiked Sediment
  • OECD 218: Sediment-Water Chironomid Toxicity Test Using Spiked Sediment
  • OECD 219: Sediment-Water Chironomid Toxicity Test Using Spiked Water
  • OECD 216: Soil Microorganisms: Nitrogen Transformation Test
  • OECD 217: Soil Microorganisms: Carbon Transformation Test

More capacities for Ready Biodegradability studies acc. OECD 301 A, B, D, F, 310

We have doubled our capacities for Ready Biodegradability testing to be able to offer better timelines despite the high demand we are currently experiencing. In the picture you see the brand new Oxitop respirometers for electronically monitoring the Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) during the aerobic biodegradability study according to OECD 301F.

We test:

  • Cosmetic products and ingredients
  • Detergents, cleaning and laundry products
  • Chemicals
  • For Water Hazard Classification
  • Polymers
  • Lubricants
  • And many more

COSMOS standards

LAUS could support you with Biodegradability testing to meet the COSMOS requirements and definitions for organic and/or natural cosmetics. For chemically processed agro-ingredients the accepted methods and criteria for biodegradability are:

- OECD 301A, percentage of degradation > 70%

- OECD 301B, OECD 301D, OECD 301F or OECD 310 meet a percentage degradation > 60%

Dissolution in body fluids

LAUS could support you with studies simulating physiological conditions in the gastrointestinal tract after food consumption required by EFSA for Nanomaterials in food. A short simulation of mouth conditions, followed by a gastric phase at a pH of 3 for 2 h and an intestinal phase at a pH of 7 for 2 h in a static set-up provides information for the “risk assessment of the application of nanoscience and nanotechnologies in the food and feed chain” (EFSA Journal 2018;16(7):5327).

Currently we are working on dynamic/flow studies to complement these studies.
