OECD 217: Soil microorganisms (carbon transformation test)

Study

Toxicology, Ecotoxicology, Terrestrial

Soil microorganisms: a carbon transformation test is a long-term assessment of the effects of a test chemical on the carbon transformation activity of soil microorganisms. Soil samples are divided into test and control groups, and mixed with glucose at 7-day intervals to assess glucose-induced respiration. If a significant enough difference (>25 %) exists in respiration rates after 28 days, the test may be continued for up to an additional 72 days.

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.
