About Microbiotests Inc

Microbiotests Inc was established in 2001 as spin-off of the University of Ghent (Belgium). Microbiotests is the world market leader and manufacturer of standardized and culture-independent ecotoxicological bioassays and tes biota. These microbiotests Toxkits and test species are used for the detection and monitoring of toxic compounds in polluted aquatic and terrestrial environments. The unique characteristic and the major asset of the microbiotests Toxkit technology is that these bioassays are totally independent of the culturing and maintenance of stocks of test organisms. The bioassays make use of "dormant" or "immobilised" stages of selected test species, which can be stored for long periods of time and activated at the time of performance of the assays. The Toxkit methodology is based on three pillars: user-friendly, standardised and cost effective Microbiotests has built up an extensive expertise in ecotoxicology and renowned in the world of environmental toxicity testing. Our expertise can help you in search for a specific application with our selection of test organisms. Microbiotests strives for continous innovation and therefore closely co-operates with universities and technology companies. In our R&D departement we develop new testing procedures and culturing methods for aquatic test organisms that are not yet covered in the present line of Toxkit assays.
