Who we are

Your Trusted Expert

With many years of research experience, our team of skilled microbiologists and virologists are well equipped to support you with your testing needs, whether in early product development or when meeting the latest Biocidal Product Regulation (BPR) guidelines. We offer comprehensive microbiology testing services that meet all necessary legal requirements and ensure the safety and efficacy of your biocidal products.

We test to compliant standards

Our protocols follow internationally recognised testing standards, including (but not limited to) BS EN (EN1276, EN1650, EN13697, EN14476), ISO, ASTM, CSLI, and IBRG methods, providing you with data that is globally recognised and accepted.

We offer custom solutions
