The Ecotoxicology Laboratories received the OECD-GLP compliance status awarded by Standards Malaysia (Registration no. Standard Malaysia GLP 007). Ecotoxicology tests are important for regulatory decisions when the data are used for registration purposes, classification and labelling of a chemical, hazard and risk assessment, during pre-manufacturing or pre-marketing to support approval of new chemicals in commerce, estimating thresholds for harmful effects and safe concentrations, setting limits on the range of concentrations likely to affect aquatic species at point sources of pollution, and controlling the disposal of chemical wastes, or to establish application rates at levels which avoid serious environmental impacts

Advantages

  – OECD-GLP compliance with competence technical staff

  – Fully equipped laboratories

  – Validated method and reliable test result

  – High quality services with affordable price

Biodegradation Testing

Biodegradation as the principal mechanism operating in sewage treatment plants and in the self-cleaning processes at surface waters, decides the fate of a substance in the environment and indicates whether it is likely to have a toxic effect on aquatic organism. Biodegradation is the least expensive and most widely used technique for removing organic compounds from wastewater and is the primary mechanism responsible for their destruction in nature.
