We are experts in the evaluation of the efficacy of biocidal products (insecticides, repellents, textiles and treated plastics) against haematophagous arthropods (mosquitoes, bedbugs, ticks, lice) for formulations under development or ready for registration.
Our services include:
- Efficacy tests of biocide products: insecticides and repellents.
- Laboratory and semi-field studies.
- Validation of insecticides and repellents.
- Validation of plastic or textile smart biocide products.
- Experimental design of bio-tests.
- Guidance in product development.
