Globally recognised provider of proficiency tests, running over 400 tests annually across an extensive range of matrices and analytes
A single sample taken by an ecologist at any time during the newt breeding season can determine their presence or absence, saving you time and money
Metabolism studies are conducted to determine the nature of residues and the test substance’s metabolic pathways in animals. We work with partners to design and plan every detail of a study to best meet the product development and/or regulatory compliance needs. Our GLP-compliant studies range from preliminary tests to determining the uptake of 14C radiolabelled agrochemicals and metabolite profiles. The analytical phase of metabolism studies is performed in our laboratories by expert and experienced staff. Total radioactive residue, extractions, matrix clean up, isolations, and characterisation/radio profiles of the incurred residue are tailored and performed to satisfy routine as well as complex projects with exceptional care and quality. Elucidating the structure of novel metabolites is often technically challenging and requires the attention of experienced metabolic chemists. Our laboratories contain advanced chromatographic and mass spectrometry equipment including NMR, LC-Tof, LC-Qtof and LC-Orbitrap which provide an efficient metabolite profiling and identification service.
Our ability to use commercial farm scale trials, environmental risk assessments and both laboratory and field studies allows us to work with most livestock species. Such livestock include cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, rabbits and poultry.
We use radio-HPLC, radio-LC-MS/MS, radio-TLC, LSC, bio-imaging and combustion analysis to quantify residues and identify metabolites.
