Biocompatibility Essays

Monitoring the growth and production of spores of microorganisms under exposure to different active ingredients.

Technical support for secure decisions in the registry and in the usage recommendation

The integration between chemical pesticides and biological agents is increasingly common in agricultural management programs. For the registry industry, this creates an important technical challenge: to demonstrate that the joint use of technologies does not compromise the efficiency of biological products or generate operational risks to the producer.

The biocompatibility assays we perform provide exactly this scientific support. They assess, under controlled conditions, whether an active ingredient or formulation is compatible with microorganisms used in biological control, such as entomopathogenic fungi, bacteria and other beneficial agents.

What we evaluate

Our tests check if exposure to the chemical causes:

Reduction of microorganism growth
Decreased production of spores or viable cells
Loss of biological feasibility
change in agent control capacity

This information is essential to define safe and substantiated technical recommendations.

Direct application in the regulatory and commercial process

For registrant companies, the biocompatibility data allows:

Prepare package inserts and technical materials with greater security
Respond to customer and authorities’ questions
reduce risk of complaints due to loss of efficiency
differentiate the product within integrated management programs

How we work

The tests are conducted in vitro, following consolidated scientific protocols and adapted to the client’s needs. We evaluate different concentrations and usage scenarios, always compared to appropriate controls.

The results are presented in clear and applicable technical reports, ready to: support technical reports and reasoning of commercial strategies
