In view of the tragic flood disaster in the Ahr valley, we have decided to make our charitable donation this year not just for Christmas, but immediately and as directly as possible. We support our local fire brigade association, which helps directly in one of the affected communities, Mayschoss, and thus purchases urgently needed items. In case you want to join: VR-Bank Südpfalz, Feuerwehrverein Neustadt-Süd, Purpose: Hochwasserhilfe Mayschoß, IBAN: DE40 5486 2500 0106 7210 36

Angesichts der tragischen Flutkatastrophe im Ahrtal haben wir uns entschlossen, unsere diesjährige caritative Spende nicht erst zu Weihnachten, sondern umgehend und so direkt wie möglich zu tätigen. Wir unterstützen den Feuerwehrverein Neustadt-Süd, der direkt in einer der betroffenen Gemeinden, Mayschoß, hilft und damit dringend benötigte Gegenstände anschafft.

EPA´s List of NAMs helps to reduce and replace vertebrate animal testing

• updates and corrections to OECD TGs on June 26, 2020

• Genotoxicity
• Dissolution in artificial body fluids/Bioaccessability

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%

We are proud to announce that LAUS has passed the regular inspection by the authorities of the state of Rheinland-Pfalz and our GLP status has been confirmed. The originally appointed date in November 2020 had been postponed due to the pandemic measures. This has been the first on site audit in a GLP laboratory in Rheinland-Pfalz since then. Although it has been conducted under very strict stipulations to avoid any risk of infection, all areas could be inspected without exception.

Do you need residue analyses under GLP for your Plant Protection Product?

Sustainability is very important to us. The heart of our laboratory, the technical equipment, has a high power consumption.

Our photovoltaic system has produced about 330 MWh of clean electricity in the past 10 years which equals a CO2 reduction of 250 t!
