wca have extensive experience in commissioning and monitoring in silico, in vitro and in vivo studies, including obtaining and evaluating quotations from relevant Contract Research Organisations (CRO), review of study plans, technical discussion with the relevant laboratories as the studies progress, interpretation of the study findings, and review of draft reports.

wca combine expertise in ecotoxicology, mammalian toxicology, exposure and analytical chemistry to solve novel problems. Experienced ecotoxicologists, principally trained in the CRO industry, have a comprehensive understanding of the methodologies and international test guidelines for (eco)toxicology studies and chemical analysis to efficiently and effectively monitor progress and design a testing strategy.

wca can offer tailored study monitoring programmes based on substance properties, use, and regulatory and research requirements including:

• REACH registrations.
• Pharmaceutical registrations.
• Ensuring study requirements meet data sufficiency for endocrine disrupter assessments.

We have extensive study monitoring experience in internationally accepted and draft test guidelines including:

• Aquatic and terrestrial study requirements to meet substance registrations, or address specific ecotoxicology issues.
• Environmental fate and behaviour studies.
• In vitro and in vivo aquatic studies for endocrine disruption.
• Ecotoxicology testing of “difficult substances”.
