Endocrine Disruption Screening Assay

Creative Bioarray is providing reliable endocrine disruptor screening assay service. After years of development, Creative Bioarray has become an expert in endocrine disruptor screening researches. By supporting a variety of customers, we are fully able to meet your project requirements and budgets.

Endocrine disruptors are chemicals that can interfere with endocrine (or hormone) systems in the body. Chemicals with estrogenic effects can be found in everyday life because of low doses of endocrine disrupting chemicals in thousands of products such as metal food cans, plastic bottles, detergents, flame retardants, toys, cosmetics and pesticides. Endocrine disrupting chemicals that are commonly detected in people include DDT, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB's), bisphenol A (BPA), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE's), diethylstilbestrol, and phthalates.

In the past years, more and more evidence showed that adverse effects exist in humans and wildlife when exposed to chemicals which can disrupt the endocrine system. These adverse effects are as follows:

1. Cancerous tumors such as breast cancer, prostate cancer, thyroid and other cancers
2. Sexual development problems such as masculinizing of females or feminizing of males
3. Other developmental disorders including attention deficit disorder, learning disabilities, cognitive and brain development problems
4. Deformation of the body

Chemicals can affect endocrine systems in various ways. Followings are three major mechanisms that chemicals disrupt the endocrine system.
