OECD 301: Ready biodegradability
Record Type:Study
The OECD 301: Ready Biodegradability is an environmental fate study that assesses the biodegradability of chemicals in an aerobic aqueous medium. Six different types of tests can be performed: the DOC die-away, the CO2 evolution (modified sturm test), the MITI (I) (Ministry of International Trade and Industry, Japan), the closed bottle, the modified OECD screening and the manometric respirometry test. Suspensions are conducted for up to 28 days and degradation is assessed, followed by measurement of various water quality metrics.
About our nonclinical animal research models: We provide the utmost care for our research animals and actively pursue advances in animal welfare. As well as ensuring the highest scientific, ethical and regulatory standards, selection of appropriate animal research models for development research is critical to developing safe and effective treatments, devices and products that protect and save lives. Just as we have ethical committee oversight for human trials, we have ethical committees overseeing all aspects of our global animal care and use programs. All of our core, nonclinical facilities are accredited by AAALAC.Learn more about our commitment to replacing, reusing and refining nonclinical research models.
