In order to satisfy the expectations of our customers, we try to meet the requirements and conduct research also outside the offer. Before starting the introduction of new test methods not covered by the current scope of our laboratory, we assess the feasibility of the service, its scope, as well as validation of new methods. We are open to new challenges.
