Industries
Springborn provides a wide range of contract services in the areas of Ecotoxicology (aquatic, terrestrial, marine and sedimentary), Avian Toxicology, Environmental Fate, Metabolism, Analytical Chemistry, Physical/Chemical Properties, and Risk Assessment. We serve many industries including:
Agriculture and Crop Protection
Springborn's staff represents a level of unsurpassed experience. Our scientists offer a variety of programs in the areas of aquatic, sediment (fresh water and marine) and terrestrial toxicology, in addition to bioconcentration. Specific areas of expertise include target and non-target insect studies, aquatic and terrestrial plant testing, crop safety and efficacy testing, fish and invertebrate early life-stage and life-cycle exposures, as well as more sophisticated and specialized studies, like microcosms, endocrine disruption studies, accumulation and bioconcentration in fish and invertebrates.
Springborn, through its state-of-the-art facilities and experienced staff, has the capacity and expertise to test difficult materials (e.g., unstable, low solubility) and confirm exposure levels in the low parts per trillion range in a variety of sediment, soil and aquatic matrices. Springborn has demonstrated experience with over 175 species and has gained a well-deserved reputation for its work with insects, earthworms, and a variety of fish and invertebrate species.
Industrial and Specialty Chemical
As our capabilities in product chemistry and bidegradation testing grew in the 1980s, and avian testing in 2000, our services to the chemical industry also grew. Springborn has worked with many of the chemical industry task forces, trade associations and product working groups over the years to solve unique exposure and testing requirements for different chemistries. Today, we continue to expand our facility and capabilities to provide the best and most comprehensive environmental testing services to the diverse and complex chemical market.
Pharmaceutical
Springborn has provided the pharmaceutical and veterinary medicine industries with environmental assessment testing and consulting services since 1987, with the publication of the FDA's Environmental Assessment Technical Assistance Handbook. Today, demands are expanding due to new environmental risk assessment testing guidelines through EMEA. We are expanding our capabilities through improved analytical instrumentation, test systems and novel study designs, including endocrine disrupter studies to meet the new testing needs of the pharmaceutical sector.
