Hydrotox offers laboratory services on routine analysis and research for industry and public sector in the field of ecotoxicity, genotoxicity and biodegradability of chemicals, materials and complex mixtures.

Hydrotox is being commissioned by over 80 companies of the European chemical industry, among these recognised companies such as BASF, Clariant, Evonik Industries, and Sasol. In Cooperation with other GLP-certified laboratories our spectrum is completed.

Hydrotox carries out research and development projects on behalf of the German Federal Environment Agency, the Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (FIOSH), the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, and the European Commission.

To complete our portfolio we are working closely together with several other GLP laboratories in long standing cooperation. The selection of the relevant partners depends on the research question and the available lab capacities in close cooperation with the sponsor. On request, the study monitoring of subcontracted studies can be taken over.
