Wet lab and office facilities

In addition to our core services, we are open to clients who wish to access fully equipped wet lab and office facilities. Whether additional space is required for short-term projects, pilot studies, or to further ongoing work, our flexible setup can include access to our array of lab equipment, desk space, and meeting rooms.

Should you need it for a few days, weeks or a longer engagement, we’ll endeavour to help keep your projects moving forward.
