  • Purpose-Built Facility & Equipment At Our Bioanalytical Lab

A Purpose-Built Four-Story Bioanalytical Laboratory, Upgraded Every Year Since 2022

Samples enter at the base into 24/7 monitored storage, every mass-spec batch has a second home, and the audited report leaves from the top floor.

Which Instruments Would Your Samples Run On?

Study samples cannot be collected twice, so check the lab before you ship them.

Follow Your Sample Up The Building

Storage at the base, mass spec on one, immunoassay on two, QA on top. The building is new; the habits in it are twenty years old.

  1. Management and QAU

    Quality assurance and administration sit on top, out of the sample flow but one staircase from it: the QAU walks the laboratories it audits.

  2. Ligand binding and molecular

    ELISA, MSD, Luminex, Octet, flow cytometry, ELISpot, PCR, cell culture and western blot imaging: the large molecule and biomarker floor.

  3. Mass spectrometry and HPLC

    Twelve LC-MS/MS and the Orbitrap HRMS beside UHPLC and HPLC-DAD/fluorescence: the small molecule floor, closest to receiving.

  4. Central lab and storage

    Sample accession, kit builds and 24/7 temperature-monitored storage with generator-backed power: samples enter and live at the base of the building.

Bioanalytical Instrument Fleet Your Assay Needs, Duplicated Where Waiting Hurts

Named, linked, maintained on contract, and extended the year a program needs more. An instrument down moves your study to its twin, never to a queue.

The Fleet Follows The Method

Every instrument in the building exists for custom method work: assays built around your molecule, often from small sample volumes. OEMs and service vendors are under contract and on call, calibration and maintenance run on schedule, and when a program needs an instrument we do not have and the fit is right, we buy it, quickly. The newest instrument is not the point; the right one for your molecule is, and equipment is never the reason a study stalls.

The full instrument inventory, by model and count, ships in the vendor qualification package on the Quality & Compliance page.

IT, Power, Continuity And Compliance, Infrastructure Your Purchasing Team Can Approve

The checks purchasing runs before a sample ships, answered with names attached; a named facilities and equipment coordinator owns the floor.

IT and dataA managed IT provider supports every workstation with ticketed requests; Normec Group IT runs accounts and two-factor login, while study data stays on US-hosted systems that group staff in Europe cannot reach; remote access is VPN with token login; Veeam backs up study data with cloud copies.
Storage and powerTemperature Guard monitors sample storage 24/7 with alarms, a heavy-duty generator backs up power, and sample freezers are access-controlled at all times.
ContinuityCameras monitor the facility and a disaster recovery plan is documented and in place.
Procurement checksBIOSECURE Act clear, with no adversary ownership parent included, US data hosting, and no reliance on 1260H-listed entities; the full position lives on the Quality & Compliance page.

The Pre-Ship Checklist, And The Turnaround Our Team Commits To

Receiving runs weekdays, with exceptions arranged ahead. Storage holds at −80, −20 and 4 C, monitored 24/7 with an on-call roster charted by our facilities and equipment coordinator, and our sample management team handles import permits for ex-US samples.

What background you send, and what our bioanalytical team turns around once it lands. Partial information is fine; we name any critical input missing on the first call.

What You Send

  • Analyte details and molecule class
  • Matrix and species
  • Any existing method, with chromatography or assay conditions
  • Data from previous runs
  • Preferred critical reagents and supply sources
  • The protocol or synopsis, with cohort and sample counts

Partial is fine; we will name what is missing on the first call.
