Biotest Laboratory – Biological Analyses approaches topics from biology, biochemistry, and ecology in an integrative and interdisciplinary manner, aiming to assess the quality of the environment to prevent and combat pollution risks.
With over 30 years of experience, the Biotest Laboratory – Biological Analyses is nationally recognized as a benchmark in environmental testing. Our modern infrastructure and commitment to research position us as leaders among analytical laboratories, offering testing and evaluation of environmental factors (water, soil, sediment, sludge, air, and surfaces) based on biological models ranging from the molecular level to higher vertebrate organisms (fish).
In accordance with national and international standards (including European regulations and ISO or OECD norms), the Biotest Laboratory – Biological Analyses is the only nationally accredited laboratory under SR EN ISO/IEC 17025:2018 authorized to perform biotoxicity, ecotoxicity, biodegradability, and bioaccumulation studies. These studies are essential for classifying the hazard levels of priority hazardous substances/chemical preparations and for setting discharge limits to minimize contamination risks to natural ecosystems.
The laboratory is also equipped with field equipment to conduct in situ studies, enabling us to contribute to the characterization of aquatic ecosystems, quantify the pressure of anthropogenic activities, and determine the ecological status of water bodies in compliance with current regulations.
The Air Pollution Control Laboratory is accredited according to SR EN ISO/IEC 17025:2018 by RENAR and provides high-quality standardized environmental services: emission, immission, and noise monitoring; preparation of pollutant dispersion studies in air using mathematical modeling with the AERMOD system; biogas monitoring from capture wells; application of the DNSH principles and infrastructure climate change resilience.
It operates 2 mobile laboratories for on-site measurements, a dynamic olfactometer with 4 human evaluators, automatic analyzers, and GC/FID.
It is the only environmental laboratory in Romania accredited by RENAR for determining odor levels through dynamic olfactometry according to SR EN 13725:2022 from emissions at fixed sources.
The Water, Soil, and Waste Pollution Control Laboratory, part of the Pollution Control Department, offers a wide range of specialized services in environmental pollution assessment and control. The laboratory provides services including:
