Potamopyrgus Antipodarum Reproduction Test

Potamopyrgus antipodarum is commonly known as the New Zealand mud snail. The P. antipodarum reproduction assay is designed to assess the potential effects of long-term chemical exposure on the reproduction and survival of the parthenogenetic lineage of the freshwater snail P. antipodarum. When testing "difficult chemicals" (i.e., volatile, unstable, readily biodegradable, and adsorbed chemicals), testing can be performed under flow-through conditions as an alternative to semi-static designs with fixed media refresh cycles.

CD BioSciences offers a comprehensive P. antipodarum reproduction testing service to determine the effects of chemicals and substances on the reproduction of this species. Our testing services are designed to support the product development, research and decision-making processes of our customers in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and environmental sectors. CD BioSciences employs a team of highly skilled and experienced scientists who use state-of-the-art equipment to provide highly accurate, reliable and regulatory test data.

Our Services

CD BioSciences offers comprehensive P. antipodarum reproduction testing services using internationally recognized testing procedures and state-of-the-art equipment. Our services are flexible and customizable to meet our clients' specific requirements and needs while delivering accurate, reliable, and regulatory-compliant results.

• Determination of the toxicity of chemicals on the reproduction of P. antipodarum
• Identification of the no-observed-effect-concentration (NOEC) and low-observed-effect-concentration (LOEC) for the tested substances
• Survival and the number of embryos in the brood pouch is determined

Testing Process

Adult snails are exposed to a range of concentrations of the test chemicals for 28 days. The antipodal survival rate during the 28-day exposure period and reproduction at the end of the test 28 days later are determined without the distinction of the developmental stage.

Results Delivery

CD BioSciences provides comprehensive reports that are scientifically robust and easy to interpret. Our comprehensive reports include detailed descriptions of the methods and procedures used, test results, discussion, recommendations, and compliance information.
