Accurate, Compliant, and Insightful Data for Your Regulatory and Development Needs
At Eurofins Advinus, we specialize in delivering comprehensive metabolism studies using advanced ^14C radiolabeled molecules within our fully GLP-compliant facilities. Understanding the absorption, translocation, and metabolic fate of chemicals in plants, soils, sediments, and animals is critical for regulatory approvals, safety assessments, and product stewardship.
Our Metabolism Study Capabilities
We conduct a broad range of metabolism studies to characterize how chemicals behave and transform in different biological and environmental matrices:
- Plant Metabolism: Absorption, translocation, and metabolic profiling within crops
- Soil and Sediment: Rate and route of chemical degradation in complex ecosystems
- Animal and Livestock Systems: Metabolism, tissue distribution, and excretion analysis
Our state-of-the-art plant growth chambers, cages, and simulation incubators are specifically designed to replicate realistic biological environments for accurate metabolism assessment.
Advanced Analytical Techniques
We apply a suite of cutting-edge technologies to quantify residues and identify metabolites with precision, including:
- Radio-HPLC
- Liquid Scintillation Counting (LSC)
- LC-MS/MS
- GC-MS
- Combustion and trap analysis
