Toxicity Insight
Eco-Toxicology Laboratory
Eco-toxicology is the study of the effects of toxic chemicals on biological organisms. The ultimate goal of this approach is to predict the effects of pollution, allowing for the most efficient and effective actions to prevent or remediate detrimental impacts.
At Azecolab, our ISO 17025 accredited and GLP-compliant Eco-Toxicology Laboratory specializes in conducting internationally recognized toxicity tests, ensuring scientifically valid and reliable results.
Commitment to Quality and Accreditation
Azecolab adheres to strict quality control standards and internationally accepted methodologies, including ISO, EPA, OSPAR, and OECD protocols. Our eco-toxicology tests are designed to assess the environmental impact of pollutants using recognized acute toxicity methods. Additionally, we incorporate Caspian Sea Ecotoxicology Protocol (CSEP) for maintaining specific Caspian test organisms.
To ensure the accuracy and reliability of test results, we use reference toxicants and regularly plot QC charts. At the end of each study, test results are rigorously validated against internationally approved validity criteria. Our participation in Proficiency Testing (PT) programs further demonstrates our commitment to maintaining the highest industry standards.
