Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Why are environmental fate studies important for my product?

Environmental fate studies are essential to determine how long your chemical persists in different environmental compartments and what transformation products may result. These insights are crucial for risk assessment and regulatory approval.

Can you handle radiolabeled substances for degradation studies?

Yes, we specialize in handling radiolabeled compounds safely. Our facilities are fully equipped to conduct radiolabeled studies for tracking degradation pathways and metabolite profiling.

What types of chemicals do you test in environmental fate studies?

We test a wide range of substances including agrochemicals, industrial chemicals, biocides, and specialty chemicals—whether in technical-grade or formulated forms.

Are your studies compliant with global regulatory standards?

Absolutely. Our methods align with OECD guidelines and are accepted by regulatory authorities worldwide, including REACH and EPA.

How do I initiate an environmental fate study with Eurofins Advinus?
