TIE testing is performed when a facility is seeing consistent results indicating toxicity and has not been able to determine the cause.  This can be difficult because:

• multiple potential toxicants may be present

• little or no toxicity data exist for many compounds

• toxicity is frequently variable, and

• the sample matrix may greatly modify toxicity

 

We can tailor a TIE which incorporates identification methods appropriate for the specific situation and thus provides the most economical and expeditious solution to the toxicity problem.
