Our microbiology labs, combined with our environmental test chambers, allow for state-of-the-art investigations specialised for your products.
Our scientists possess extensive expertise and provide a comprehensive range of analytical and interpretation capabilities in Bacteriology, Mycology, and Virology.
Individual samples, components, prototypes, finished products or services can be assessed for impact on consumer health using proprietary and internationally accepted test methods.
All projects and investigations are customisable to meet all requirements of our clients, utilising our unique and highly developed ANSI/AHAM chamber to perfectly test products in any indoor environment.
With an extensive track record in innovative approaches to claim validation, we serve a number of industries and offer our services to product developers, manufacturers, NPO’s and government agencies. Through our experience and technical capabilities we are well placed to help you obtain evidence-driven claim validation for your products and gain an advantage over competitors.
