Work with a company who understands the real challenges and predicting the impact of your compounds on terrestrial and aquatic environments - all ‘under one roof’.
Whether you are focussed on aquatic or terrestrial ecotoxicology, our goal is to provide you with high quality endpoints for the registration of your crop protection product.
To enhance our extensive suite of ecotoxicology services we will be launching our new Aquatic Fish Testing Laboratory in Spring 2019. Senior scientists will deliver fish acute, early life stage and bioaccumulation / bioconcentration studies using the available exposure systems, from static to flow-through testing. Full life-cycle studies and fish sexual development tests will be subsequently developed
As your partner we can also offer you access to state-of-the-art facilities and a leading team of expert ecotoxicologists who can deliver studies appropriate across global regulatory frameworks.
Well conducted ecotoxicology studies are a vital part of your testing programme. Our dedicated team of ecotoxicologists have extensive knowledge of the ecotoxicology testing sector, and years of success in conducting both laboratory and field studies including higher tier testing. Our expertise positions us as a leading partner to facilitate your ecotoxicology testing requirements. In addition, our new a ground-breaking E-Flows mesocosm facility will provide data for higher tier risk assessments, and is currently undergoing commissioning and validation.
Our ecotoxicological studies are supported by a dedicated team of analytical chemists to support the development and validation of analytical methods and confirm exposure concentrations. We also have an Environmental Fate team with extensive experience in a range of environmental fate process studies including degradation, sorption, hydrolysis, photolysis and plant uptake using both radiolabelled and non-radiolabelled compounds.

Our Experience
Our experience in the chemical regulation sector and wealth of scientific knowledge is driven by our team of dedicated scientists and experts who coordinate our testing-services and drive innovative research projects to maintain our world-leading levels of service. All of which are supported by our state-of-the-art facilities and equipment.
Our services designed for you
Aquatic Ecotoxicology
Chemical impact assessment is critical for the protection of the aquatic environment. It is important that testing assesses each of the trophic levels; photosynthetic organisms, herbivores and predatory organisms, including fish.
Higher Tier Risk Assessment
Newly-developed chemical compounds need to be safe for the plant and aquatic environment. Our new state-of the-art E-Flows mesocosm and aquatic facilities provide a unique test-bed to demonstrate this
Bee Ecotoxicology Studies
Fera has the research expertise and scientific resources to help you test products for their effects on pollinator survival, development, and behaviour, enabling you to develop products that are safe for bees and other pollinators.
Terrestrial Non-Target Arthropod
Our tests assess the potential effects of your products on seedling emergence and early growth, the effects on above-ground growth and on the soil, to determine any impacts on the reproductive capability of higher plants.
Terrestrial Non-Target Plant
Non-target arthropods play an essential role in ecosystems as pest controllers. We have extensive experience in conducting studies with these non-target arthropods under laboratory, glasshouse, or semi-field conditions.
Regulatory Risk Assessment
Access to experienced senior scientists across all scientific disciplines, we understand the relevant legislative frameworks and are uniquely positioned to assist you meet the regulatory requirements for crop protection registrations.
Fera has the best people in the right place focussed on delivering the right solution. We continuously invest in our people and support them in delivering the best science to our partners.
