About Airmid Labs
Science you can trust. Impact you can prove.
Our Mission
To empower innovators, regulators, and public health leaders with scientifically robust, real-world evidence that improves lives by advancing healthy indoor environments.
Our Vision
A world without building-related illness.
Where every indoor space supports wellbeing, validated by science, trusted by consumers, and embedded in design.
Who We Are
Airmid Healthgroup is a world-leading biomedical contract research organisation (CRO) specialising in aerobiology, infectious aerosols, allergy science, and indoor air quality (IAQ). We help global brands, medtech developers, and standards organisations bring healthier, safer, and performance-verified products to market, backed by robust, peer-reviewed science.
From GLP-compliant infection control studies to real-world validation of air cleaning technologies, we operate at the intersection of public health, product innovation, and regulatory science.
Our purpose-built test chambers and ISO 17025-accredited laboratories allow us to simulate real-life conditions in homes, hospitals, schools, aircraft cabins, and more, providing clients with the scientific evidence and market confidence they need.
What Makes us Unique in the field of Bioaerosols

The Story Behind Our Name and Logo
The name Airmid was chosen with deep intent, to reflect both our mission and our roots. In Celtic mythology, Airmid is the goddess of healing, daughter of Dian Cécht, and guardian of the sacred Sláine Well of Healing. Together with her brothers, she was said to restore the wounded to full health, a metaphor that resonates deeply with our commitment to improving indoor environments and advancing public health through science.
The Airmid Healthgroup logo draws inspiration from the Celtic triquetra, symbolizing unity and continuity, and the Yin-Yang, reflecting balance and harmony, particularly between people and their environments. The threefold symmetry represents the original pillars of our organisation: Airmid Scientific Consulting, Airmid Health Laboratory, and health friendly air™.
Its windmill-like form and dynamic coloration suggest movement, air, and energy, a nod to our core focus on indoor air quality and the interconnected nature of the health sciences we practice. The design also subtly pays tribute to our ties with Trinity College Dublin, where academic excellence and translational science are part of our DNA.
This logo is more than a mark. It’s a reflection of our identity: rooted in heritage, driven by science, and dedicated to healing through innovation.

Accreditation & Compliance
iAIR Labs offers high-quality testing, inspection, compliance and certification with several regulatory systems. It is ISO 17025 accredited.
Our labs are routinely, externally audited to ensure that your data is reliable, repeatable, and scientifically accurate. We meet the requirements for submission to both the US EPA and the US FDA.
Whether you’re interested in early R&D for your product or GLP testing for a 510k, contact us with your testing needs.
Good Laboratory Practices (GLP)
The Good Laboratory Practices were enacted as law in 1978 to ensure that all data submitted to federal regulatory agencies is performed safely and reliably. The GLPs were introduced to assure that a study is conducted by qualified personnel working in well-maintained facilities with appropriate materials and calibrated equipment, using properly designed experiments recorded with clear and complete detailed documentation, overseen by an independent Quality Assurance Unit, and safely archived for audit/inspection by regulatory agents.
EPA GLP
EPA Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) ensures the quality and integrity of test data submitted to the Environmental Protection Agency. The EPA writes regulations, provides guidance, reviews submitted data, inspects for compliance, registers toxic materials, and enforces legal action for violations.
FDA GLP
FDA GLP prescribes good laboratory practices for conducting nonclinical laboratory studies that support or are intended to support applications for research or marketing permits for products regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This program supports customers requesting a GLP assessment, as FDA does not provide a certificate of compliance.
At iAIR Labs, we pride ourselves on adhering to the highest standards of regulatory compliance. All our testing services are conducted in strict accordance with FDA and EPA guidelines and cGLP (current Good Laboratory Practice) regulations, ensuring our clients receive results that are both reliable and recognized by regulatory bodies.
