Reliable data in toxicology

Assessing toxic effects of subtances using non-invasive phenotyping

Toxicity Testing Made Easy and Accurate with LemnaTec

Understanding whether a substance is toxic to plants is critical in both research and regulatory testing. Whether you’re evaluating the effectiveness of a potential herbicide or ensuring that a compound doesn’t unintentionally harm plants in the environment, reliable testing methods are essential.

One widely accepted approach is the duckweed (Lemna) toxicity test—a standard in many ecotoxicology labs. This assay plays a vital role in environmental monitoring, product safety evaluations, and water quality assessments.

LemnaTec enhances this process with powerful imaging and image analysis tools designed specifically for duckweed-based toxicity testing. Our technology delivers precise, reproducible data, making it easier to detect even subtle effects on plant health.

But it doesn’t stop at duckweed. LemnaTec’s flexible and modular phenotyping systems also support:

• Analyzing visible stress responses in plants exposed to salinity, contaminants, or other environmental stressors
• Tracking movement or feeding behavior in small organisms like insects or mites

With LemnaTec, you can expand your ecotoxicological assessments—whether you’re studying plants, aquatic, or terrestrial organisms—using advanced, non-invasive digital phenotyping.
