Agrochemicals
Keeping land and food safe is the utmost priority.
Agricultural chemicals exert their effects long term, incorporating into various ecological cycles. We can help you test the long-term, even multigenerational, effects of precursors, chemicals, or breakdown products in a rapid, affordable artificial soil model.

Agrochemicals FAQ
Can you replace lengthy and costly eartworm tests?
ANSWER
We think yes! While earthwomrs are segmented worms and C. elegans is a roundworm they are both soil animals, adapted to similar environments and responding to environmental changes in a similar fashion.
How affordable and rapid is a C. elegans assay?
ANSWER
Pricing depends on the volume and type of assay, in general we can share that C. elegans assays are up to 100 times cheaper and up to 24 times faster than equivalent mammalian assays.
