Ecotoxicological analysis
| Dose-response with determination of ECx or limit test |
| Microalgae inhibition with Raphidocelis subcapitata or Phaeodactylum tricornutum |
| Acute immobilisation with Daphnia magna of Artemia franciscana |
| Acute bioluminescence with the bacterium Vibrio fischeri |
| Acute Danio rerio embryo test or of juvenile Oncorhynchus mykiss. |
Ecotoxicological testing on other aquatic and terrestrial organisms is possible (not accredited). Capabilities and prices upon request.
