WHY TOXICITY TESTING?

Understand the Biological Effect of Your Sample

Chemical analysis identifies known compounds. Toxicity testing helps reveal how the sample affects living organisms as a whole.

  • Detect potential toxicity
  • Investigate unknown contamination
  • Support early-warning monitoring
  • Evaluate wastewater and industrial processes
  • Support environmental and regulatory testing

HOW IT WORKS

See Toxicity Through Changes in Light

Aliivibrio fischeri naturally produces light.

When exposed to toxic substances, its light output decreases. Measuring this change provides a rapid indication of toxicity and can be used to calculate results such as percent inhibition and EC50.

CUSTOMER EXPERIENCES

Trusted by Toxicity Testing Professionals

“We have had great service from the initial contact through the delivery of the order and the reagent is working great”

Customer - Ireland

“This test is PERFECT! The bacteria and the solutions too”

Customer - Europe

“We used the BioLight Multi Reagent as soon as we received it and the results were even better than we expected. The reagent lasted 4 hours longer than the quoted time and test results were still coming out the same as hour 1. We want to order more, today”

Customer - North America

“This is the best bioluminescent reagent that we have seen in over 20 years”

Customer - Italy
