Biodegradability Assay
Is your product “sewer safe?” Will it decay in soils and compost? Or will it persist in the environment and require special disposal methods? We offer a range of biodegradability assays that are based on international standard protocols. You receive a report detailing the analysis and its results, including determination of ready biodegradability, percent degradation, degradation rate, and estimation of half-life and persistence. The choice of assay depends on the nature of the sample and the environment to which it might be disposed. Contact us to discuss your project.
.
Your proposal will include a protocol summary, sample requirements, deliverables, budget, and a schedule. We offer substantial discounts for multiple samples. Most assays require about 45 days after we receive the sample.
