Summary

Researchers developed a sensitive fluorescent microparticle-based feeding assay for daphnids to improve toxicological safety assessments of chemical substances, providing a more reliable phenotypic test for aquatic hazard evaluation.

The toxicological hazard and safety assessment of chemical substances relies on the outcome of animal testing involving phenotypic tests such as feeding.
