About Us
We offer high quality and cost-effective ecotoxicology, environmental fate, and analytical chemistry services to the global agrochemical, pharmaceutical, industrial chemicals & biocides industries.
Scymaris was founded in 2016, and is based at the former Brixham Environmental Laboratory (BEL). Our extensive state of the art facilities are equipped with controlled temperature rooms, freshwater and seawater treatment and processing capabilities, controlled air-flow and conditioning. We have 24 hour security and back-up systems.
We provide environmental laboratory services in:
• Ecotoxicology (freshwater and marine), acute and chronic exposure and bespoke study designs
• Endocrine disruptor tests including FSTRA/FSDT/FFLC/FELs/AMA/LAGDA/ZEOGRT
• Biodegradation and higher tier radiolabelled and cold Environmental Fate studies
• Analytical Chemistry services: product characterisation, Metabolite ID, complex chemical analysis (LC-MS/GC-MS), routine sample analysis, ILV’s
• Regulatory laboratory testing compliant to GLP, OECD, OCSPP, ISO, OSPAR and licensed to work with radiochemicals (14C & 3H)
Our laboratory campus is able to directly access clean seawater on a continuous basis.
Through a purpose-built continuous flow system, seawater can be abstracted, treated, held and delivered to testing laboratories via a dedicated plant room facility, maintained by our expert engineers and dedicated husbandry team.
This provides you with natural seawater through a highly flexible and customisable system capable of supporting high volume flow-through and many other study designs for your research and regulated projects.
Our Work
We are committed to a controlled and carefully planned execution of studies based on excellence in science and project management, with access to your Study Director throughout the project lifecycle.

Over 73% of our staff occupy a scientific role, demonstrating our commitment to excellence in science.
Why choose us?
We are known for successfully and efficiently solving the challenges associated with the risk assessment and global registration of many different chemical types in the fields of agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, biocides and veterinary medicines. In addition to standardised regulatory testing we also offer customised and bespoke study designs and will take the lead in proposing valuable testing strategies for often complex and challenging circumstances.
We offer non-GLP and GLP testing services supporting in-house research and regulatory compliant studies for data submission in all geographic regions. Our multidisciplinary team of scientists have many years of experience with different types of test compounds including complex substances. By design, our scientific teams are highly integrated across ecotoxicology, analytical chemistry and environmental fate/biodegradation enabling open and prompt communications and actions to ensure the timely completion of studies.
