ECHA recently announced that the Hyalella azteca bioconcentration test (HYBIT) can fulfil the standard information requirement under REACH for bioaccumulation, unless dietary exposure is required (read more). Thereby, the bioconcentration test (OECD TG 305) with fish will be replaced on a case-by-case basis with a test system that uses freshwater amphipods, i.e. non-vertebrates. A test […]
Toxicokinetic-toxicodynamic (TKTD) modeling can integrate all available data from individual‐level bioassays into a single framework and enable refined risk assessments by extrapolating from laboratory results to time‐variable exposure scenarios. Dynamic energy budget (DEB) models coupled with TKTD modules (DEB-TKTD) are an approach to assess and predict sublethal effects of chemicals on individual organisms. However, thorough […]
Depending on its composition, waste from mirror entries has to be categorized as hazardous or non-hazardous. The hazard property ‘ecotoxic’ (HP 14) can be evaluated based on the content of hazardous substances in the respective waste or using ecotoxicity tests with samples and eluates of this waste. At the EU level, specific requirements for the […]
ECT’s certificate of Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) has been successfully renewed in April 2024, for the 9th time since 1994. The successful assessment of conformity with GLP included ECT’s recently established analytical department and electronic raw data archive.
The SETAC Europe 34th annual meeting takes place in Seville (Spain) from 5 to 9 May 2024. ECT contributes to this meeting with several presentations. Please come and meet us at our presentations or at the SynTech Research Group booth 243!
ECT received formal approval for carrying out R&D activities for private companies, which enables a tax credit (Crédit d’Impôt Recherche, CIR) for our French customers.
In-house analytical services under GLP are now available at ECT. Analytical verification of actual test concentrations is essential in ecotoxicity studies, and we are now prepared to provide this service in-house.
Dr Anja Coors was appointed as Honorary Senior Research Fellow in the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences at the University of Exeter, United Kingdom, starting 01 April 2024. This appointment will strengthen ECT’s cooperation with the team of Prof Charles Tyler.
Germany still lacks a nationwide and standardised survey of soil organisms, although a comprehensive infrastructure for such a survey is available with approx. 800 permanent soil monitoring sites (Bodendauerbeobachtungsflächen, BDF). At present, not all federal states perform biodiversity surveys on their permanent soil monitoring sites. This is most likely due to the fact that the […]
The SETAC Europe 33rd annual meeting will take place in Dublin (Ireland) from 30 April to 4 May 2023. ECT contributes to this meeting with the platform and poster presentations listed below. Please come and meet us at our presentations or at the SynTech Research Group booth 14!
