The Importance of Agrochemical Toxicology Services
When developing an agrochemical product, or plant protection active substance, manufacturers and developers need to demonstrate the safety of their product with a risk assessment complying with regulations including EFSA 1107/2009. Toxicology services determine the hazards from product exposure so studies that measure and quantify the effects of exposure must be performed. Testing plays a critical role in dietary safety, worker safety, and the safety of those who may come into contact with the material, such as residents and bystanders.
Choosing the Right Agrochemical Toxicology Services Partner
- Before beginning a costly testing program, we can perform in silico modeling including DEREK.
- As you move through the process, we have experience in designing and managing the entire program of studies from simple enabling in vitro tests to a full higher tier in vivo testing using a choice of species including rodents, rabbits, and canines amongst others.
- We have a global footprint and are constantly adjusting our capacity to ensure your program stays on track and is performed in line with global regulatory guidelines including OECD guidelines/OCSSP (OPPTS). Additionally, we provide expert Regulatory Dossier Support.
- When you partner with us for agrochemical toxicology services you are tapping into thousands of experienced toxicologists worldwide. Our problem-solving skills are unparalleled when it comes to overcoming obstacles.
- We hold extensive historical control data giving you confidence in your results.
