Every test species, one schema

Whether the test organism is a fathead minnow or a sea-urchin embryo, the data model stays the same. CETIS holds every endpoint (survival, growth, fertilization, germination) in one queryable structure.

Trusted across labs, agencies, and universities

“One of the greatest strengths of CETIS is its flexibility. Because the software is built on Microsoft Access, we have been able to customize test designs, create new templates, and adapt the system to accommodate virtually any toxicity testing protocol we perform. Equally impressive has been the level of support provided by the developer. Over the years, the developer has consistently gone above and beyond to assist our laboratory with toxicity data analysis challenges, software customization, and regulatory reporting requirements. Their knowledge of aquatic toxicity testing, statistical analysis, and environmental data management is exceptional.”
JF Joe Freas President & Senior Toxicologist, Aquatic Bioassay & Consulting Laboratories, Inc.
“The CETIS software is a critical element of our laboratory data management system… it has dramatically improved our efficiency, and the flexible statistical tools support our full scope of services for our clients.”
Stephan Clark Vice President, Pacific EcoRisk, Inc.
“CETIS has simplified WET data management at every step… sharing test data with permittees, permit writers, or labs is straightforward. I could not do my job nearly as well without it.”
Randall Marshall WET Coordinator, WA Dept of Ecology
“CETIS is a complete toxicity testing database. It sets up the tests, creates the paperwork, analyzes the data, prepares the reports… I can't imagine anyone doing toxicity testing without CETIS.”
Stan Asato Supervisor, EMD Toxicity Testing Unit, City of L.A.
“The versatility of the CETIS software is unparalleled in its ability to manage all of our statistical evaluations supporting WET testing, dredge sediment evaluations and ecological risk assessments.”
Ken Simon Technical Director, EnviroSystems, Inc.
“We rely on CETIS as the backbone of our laboratory data management system including test design, statistical analyses and data reporting. CETIS has enabled us to significantly improve our productivity and has provided unique value-added statistical tools to our laboratory's array of services.”
Dave Lewis Lab Director, ToxScan, Inc.
“…the networking abilities of CETIS allowed us to make our lab much more efficient with direct data entry at each of the workstations. This powerful addition to our lab has made it possible to create reports for our clients the same day the test(s) end. The speed and quality of support provided by Tidepool Scientific is light speed ahead of any support I have ever experienced with other software vendors.”
Glenn A. Matlock Laboratory Manager, BioTox, Inc.
