On behalf of renowned institutions such as the Federal Environment Agency, the Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, the European Commission and industry, Hydrotox contributes to the acquisition of scientific knowledge and the protection of the environment. The results of this research are published in national and international journals as well as on the websites of the project sponsors to ensure broad accessibility and transparency.

Our team is full of energy and drive, ready to take on challenges together. Each and every one of us brings unique expertise and experience to the table, making us an unbeatable team.

Good Laboratory Practice (GLP)
By establishing the principles of Good Laboratory Practice (GLP), a uniform quality system is available and applied for the non-clinical safety testing of pharmaceuticals, pesticides, cosmetics, veterinary drugs, food and feed additives, and industrial chemicals.

ISO 17025
Additionally to the GLP principles, a quality management system according to ISO 17025 has been established in 2002.

We are members in the

• Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC Europe)

• German Chemical Society (GDCh) (section ecotoxicity and water chemistry)

• European Environmental Mutagen Society (EEMS)

• German Society for Good Research Practices (DGGF)

• German Association for Water, Wastewater and Waste (DWA)

We actively contribute to method development for optimising and adapting test designs to new requirements by working in different committees (e.g. DIN working committee on bio assays, GDCh-working committee for assessment of chemicals). Being in close contact with scientific experts and standardisation panels enables us to respond any time quickly and adequately to your specific questions.

We are proud to have worked with a wide range of companies and organizations. Our references give you an insight into our successful projects and show how we have developed individual solutions for our customers.
