When choosing a contract microbiology laboratory, you will be looking for technical expertise, reliable and accurate results, timely turnaround, strong QC practices, good communication, a proven track record and the ability to meet your unique requirements.
At Don Whitley Scientific (DWS), we’ve been delivering exceptional microbiology work for over 30 years and have built up our expertise in areas that set us apart from other microbiology labs. Pharmaceutical companies, medical manufacturers and research organisations choose DWS because of our:
Experience
Our Head of Science has been with DWS for more than 30 years and has supervised a wide range of microbiological studies. Our scientific team has experience in bacterial enumeration, antimicrobial susceptibility testing (including anaerobes and fungi), medical device testing and many other “culture based” microbiological techniques. Most work relating to the growth or inhibition of bacteria and fungi, including more fastidious organisms, can be accommodated.
Flexibility
As a small, independent lab, we pride ourselves on adapting to your unique requirements. Whether you need to develop a new test procedure, have an existing in-house method, or wish to follow a recognised standard method, we’ll work with you to make it happen.
GLP Compliance
Our laboratory has been a member of the UK GLP Compliance Programme since 1994, so we are able to generate microbiological data relating to the safety of products developed for use in human medicine, animal health, agriculture and aquaculture. We operate a single, universal quality system so that non-GLP studies are also conducted to the same high standards, ensuing the reliability and traceability of data.
Accuracy and Reliability
All experimental results are reviewed and approved by our experienced Head of Science. From routine QC testing (viable counts) to susceptibility testing to the development of antimicrobial assays, we have a strong commitment to Quality and always deliver reliable results.
Whether we are testing antibacterial dressings, isolating Mycoplasmas or supporting the development of a new antimicrobial agent, we’re here to help. Our commitment goes beyond the experimental results – we aim to develop a collaborative partnership with each customer to ensure your project is a success from start to finish.
