EPA Flea Product Testing Labs

STILLMEADOW, Inc. specializes in EPA flea product testing labs.

We are an independent EPA flea product testing labs contract research facility. We are AAALAC Accredited and certified with the National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (NELAP).

Our EPA flea product testing labs specialists have provided full-service, lab-certified evaluations since 1975 in the areas of drug development, mammalian and environmental toxicology, animal health, entomology, analytical services, and in vitro studies.

We were certified by the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (JMAFF) in 1992. In addition, key members of our EPA flea product testing labs staff are members of the Society of Quality Assurance, the Chemical Producers and Distributors Association, and the Society of Toxicology.

The EPA flea product testing labs Quality Assurance Unit (QAU) at STILLMEADOW, Inc. assures regulatory compliance by auditing studies, reviewing protocols, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), consulting with study directors, and interacting with sponsors. The QAU conducts regulatory training classes, hosts regulatory as well as sponsor inspections, and assesses subcontractor compliance.

The Quality Assurance Unit carries out report and data audits, facility inspections, and in-process inspections for compliance with:

• Good Laboratory Practices (EPA, FDA, OECD, and JMAFF)
• National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) under the Clean Water Act
• Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES)
• Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)
• Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)
• Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA)
• International regulations for EU, OSPAR, etc.

Our staff are members of the following associations:

Society of Quality Assurance

Council of Producers & Distributors of Agrotechnology

Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC)

Society of Toxicology

Association for Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care International

And other associations and organizations.

For drug development, FDA approval of your Investigational New Drug (IND) application is the result of a successful drug development program, which begins with STILLMEADOW, Inc.

From guidance in the creation of unique pilot studies and protocols, to evaluation of the safety and efficacy of your product, STILLMEADOW, Inc.’s experienced study directors and laboratory technicians support your drug development in meeting FDA guidelines for advancement to clinical trials.

• Pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis of drug absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME)
• Acute and subchronic toxicological parameters
• Dose range-finding studies
• Multiple species
• Creation of unique pilot studies and protocols to meet FDA guidelines

STILLMEADOW, Inc. performs pre-clinical safety and efficacy studies, pharmacokinetic studies, and ADME (adsorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion) studies.

For Toxicology in Mammals, Avian, Fish, Reptiles and Insects: Considerable legislation has been developed to protect people and the environment from possible harmful effects of chemicals biopesticides, pharmaceuticals, and microbial pest control agents (MPCA’s). Acute and subchronic toxicity testing protocols provide fundamental data for evaluating products to inform both manufacturers and the public of potential hazards. Industries of significant economic and societal importance rely on safe use of effective chemicals for a multitude of useful and beneficial purposes. STILLMEADOW, Inc. takes pride in its ability to provide the toxicology services needed for premanufacture notification, registration of pesticides, labeling and safe handling recommendations for consumers and employees.

For Animal Health we specialize in companion and farm animals.
