Toxicological Studies
The Mérieux NutriSciences laboratories can perform toxicological tests to assess the potential health hazards of agrochemicals, biocidal products and other chemicals. Our agrochemical experts conduct a wide range of toxicological tests in accordance with good laboratory practices (GLP) and all worldwide quality and safety standards.
Mérieux NutriSciences can perform all necessary toxicological tests in accordance with current legislation.
