Our cross-functional team of scientists have earned a strong reputation in addressing many biodegradation and environmental fate challenges associated with the global registration of chemicals, agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, biocides and veterinary medicines. In addition to performing a full range of higher and lower tier studies, we also offer customised and bespoke study designs and can provide valuable testing strategies for the most complex and challenging circumstances. For all Environmental Fate studies, metabolite ID analysis may be included as required.
We have a proven ability to deliver high quality biodegradation studies to assess a compound’s propensity to be readily or inherently biodegradable. Studies are performed in activated sludge, water, and soil. Scymaris has numerous contacts in the UK and Europe to source these test matrices and the various inocula that are classically sourced from waste water treatment plants, rivers, lakes, the sea, fields and forests. Scymaris is also able to offer analytical chemistry support to a wide range of biodegradation testing as required.

We have a proven ability to deliver high quality environmental fate studies to assess a compound’s propensity to degrade in environmental matrices. Typically, we perform studies in activated sludge, water, soil, or a combination of water sediment matrices.

Our purpose-built controlled temperature (CT) rooms allow us to consistently maintain a wide range of constant temperatures (9-35°C)at ±1°C to accommodate stringent regulatory requirements. Studies can also be performed under controlled day/night and red-light facilities using radiolabelled (¹⁴C or ³H) or non-labelled compound. Radiolabelled studies are supported by radio-HPLC, radio-TLC or radio-LCMS as required by our integrated team of environmental fate scientists and mass spectrometry experts.
Testing performed to OECD, OCSPP (OPPTS) and ISO guidelines.
