Formed in April 2014 Rovaltain Research Company is a newly established private contract research organisation providing expert services for ecotoxicology and environmental toxicology. Our company philosophy is to provide in all its activities and communications:
* Scientific excellence
* Quality and timeliness of result
* Cost effectiveness
We pride ourselves in being able to offer a new and exc
iting innovative service within the realms of ecotoxicology and environmental toxicology to both our academic and industrial clients. Our vision is to promote the development of environmental toxicology and ecotoxicology through our research and expert services. We aim to fulfil this ambition by providing a state of the art facility, associated expertise and high quality scientific services which will facilitate the development of environmental toxicology and ecotoxicology disciplines. MAIN SERVICES
ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY, ECOTOXICOLOGY AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
* Ecotoxicity, screening for acute and chronic toxicity, metabolism and metabolite profiling: microorganisms, terrestrial macrophytes, aquatic macrophytes and microalgae, aquatic invertebrates (crustaceans, annelids, molluscs and insects), aquatic vertebrates (fish and amphibians)
* Fate and metabolism of substances and contaminants (distribution, accumulation, abiotic degradation and biodegradation)
* Higher tier indoor soil, aquatic and sediment systems
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS (CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL)
* Validation and implementation of analytical methods - Sample preparation, Target and non-target analyses by LC-MS/MS et GC-MS/MS
* Biomarker identification – metabolomics, proteomic, enzymatic assays, MALDI Imaging
* Substance and metabolite profiling (qualification and quantification)
* Monitoring of environmental biological contaminants (environmental biota, biofluids etc.) CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENTS
Up to biosafety level 2 climate controlled systems available for fundamental and applied research activities and private research
* Urban, agricultural and natural simulation possible
* Soil columns, sediment and aquatic systems etc.
* Artificial aquatic and sediment microcosm systems
COLLABORATIVE PROJECTS
Fundamental and applied research collaboration
Support for research and innovation is proposed to organisations and private enterprises seeking a partner capable of offering a complete and unique range of services. Our alliances offer fundamental and industrial research projects encompassing experimental design to analysis of complex data through to the development of new (eco)toxicity bioassays for ecotoxicological and environmentalrisk assessment. Rovaltain Research Company offers a particularly innovative position with the potential to work with its academic partners providing valuable expertise in overcoming scientific and technological challenges relating to spatial and temporal control over long term realistic dose exposure systems. Climatically controlled environments for services and research
With our innovative approaches and state of the art equipment we can offer a range of services utilising our climatically controlled laboratories. We can provide a range of controlled environments available with up to biosafety level 2 confinement suitable for hazardous organisms, substances and chemicals. The environments that we are able to provide in terms of mimicking natural and urban environments include but are not limited to:
* Soil systems
* Aquatic systems
* Sediment systems
* Complete microcosm or mesocosm systems
* Urban situations
We are able to offer laboratory facilities for academic projects including the possibility for scientists and researchers to work directly within our facility. Please contact us for more details.
