Commercial activities
Our wide range of state-of-the-art analytical platforms and unique understanding of measurement across multiple sectors, enables our measurement scientists to offer innovative solutions to complex clinical and industrial measurement challenges.
Strategic partnerships
Centres of excellence
We are building stronger local roots across the UK through four Centres of Excellence, each embedded within its regional ecosystem and focused on high‑value sectors. Our strategic partnerships have evolved into engines of translation and impact, paving the way for accelerated collaboration across the UK.
Reference measurements and materials
Reference measurements
We are experts in high accuracy chemical (organic and inorganic) and biological (nucleic acids) measurements, offering our customers measurement results they can trust, with known uncertainties and full traceability to recognised international standards. Our reference measurements are provided using our in-house methods, many of which are accredited to ISO/IEC 17025.
Reference materials
We develop and produce reference materials that underpin complex measurements and support legislation. Many of our reference materials fall within our scope of accreditation to ISO 17034 as a reference material producer.
