Dear customer,

INVITRO-CONNECT GmbH offers you a large data base with various tests and assays for registration and research & development of chemicals, pharmaceutical substances, cosmetics, biocides, pesticides, medical devices and of veterinary medicinal products. These are usually carried out under GLP (good laboratory practice) in an accredited test laboratory.

Furthermore we also offer all in vitro tests approved by the ECVAM as animal testing alternatives.

From the development of an excellent test strategy, over the project management and laboratory coordination to study monitoring, toxicological expertise and GLP inspections at the affiliated laboratories.

We provide final test reports including the registration dossier, of course in the format of your choice, digital as well as on paper and worldwide.

Testing for endocrine properties OECD

The endocrine disruptors (endocrine disruptors EAS) have come more and more into the focus of the public in the last few years, because their hormone-like effects show effects on the organisms in the environment even in the lowest concentrations.

In 2002, the EDTA (OECD Endocrine Disrupter Testing and Assessment Task Force) introduced the “OECD Conceptual Framework for the Testing and Assessment of Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals”, which specifies five different test levels for risk assessment for these substances:

Level 1
Analysis of the existing data

Level 2
Investigation of a single endocrine mechanism through in vitro studies

Level 3
Investigation of a single endocrine mechanism through in vivo studies

Level 4
Investigation of multiple endocrine mechanisms through in vivo studies

Level 5
Long-term in vivo studies

We support you in testing endocrine disrupting substances with the following studies:

Level 2

  • Estrogen and androgen receptor binding affinity (YES/YAS Assay)

Level 4

  • Fish Sexual Development Test (OECD 234)
  • Fish Reproduction Partial Lifecycle Test
  • Sediment-Water Chironomid Toxicity Using Spiked Sediment (OECD 218)
  • Sediment-Water Chironomid Toxicity Using Spiked Water (OECD 219)
  • Daphnia Reproduction Test (OECD 211)
  • Earthworm Reproduction Test (OECD 222)
  • Sediment Water Lumbriculus Toxicity Test (OECD 225)

Level 5

  • Fish Life Cycle Test (Danio rerio) (OECD DRP 2008)
We offer you the UN methods that are required in the context of the CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 and the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) for the labeling and classification as well as for the transport of hazardous substances.
