In Vivo & In Vitro Screening: Robust Data to Guide Your R&D Strategy

In support of research programs, and at various stages of the registration process, the Staphyt’s Phytopathology and Plant Nutrition Laboratory provides state-of-the-art facilities and recognized expertise to test, select, and evaluate active substances as well as formulated products, whether conventional or biological.

Trials conducted under controlled conditions are generally carried out prior to field experiments, to which they provide complementary support. Drawing on its expertise in crop protection and nutrition, the team develops standardized or customized protocols to support the characterization of your products.

Services notably include in vitro and in vivo assays on a wide range of model pathogens, enabling the evaluation of efficacy and a better understanding of the modes of action of the solutions studied. These initial studies generate robust and actionable data, helping to inform decision-making and guide clients’ R&D strategies.
