Dedicated to Providing Quality Laboratory Services

Analytical Projects

Trust our expert staff to help you tackle all of your Analytical testing needs. From Routine Analysis to custom Method Development, Troubleshooting and Reverse Engineering; we have the people and the knowledge to help meet your unique needs.

Strict Quality Practices

Centricor has the experience and is equipped to provide the support you need to meet the strict regulatory and quality standards required by your industry. Either by utilizing already existing and validated methods, or providing method development to help you meet and maintain a wide range of regulations, Centricor is committed to delivering the accurate and reliable results you need.

Customized Solutions

At Centricor we do not have a one size fits all approach to our clients. Each project, no matter how large or small, will be assessed and all results will be reviewed by a Senior Ph.D. chemist prior to releasing results to our customer. We understand our customers need more than a cookie cutter approach to their product line. We work closely with our customers to develop customized methods and solutions to provide results you can count on.

Advanced Instruments

Our team has access to a wide range of State-of-the-Art Analytical Instrumentation and is committed to continuing to stay on top of industry advances. We invest in the education of our staff and are committed to maintain and upgrade the instrumentation our customers need.

Troubleshooting

Centricor Labs can accurately measure and evaluate the effect of changes in processes or formulations to help manufacturers improve their existing production methods or develop new products for the marketplace.

Using analytical data, we can help investigate the cause behind a problem or failure of a product.

Deformulation /
Reverse Engineering

Our chemists can deformulate (reverse engineer) competitive products to separate and identify components for quality comparison or to determine possible patent infringement or breach of trade secrets and confidentiality agreements.

Litigation Support

Our principal scientists can also serve as expert witnesses to provide compelling evidence and persuasive testimony to support you with:

Customer complaints
Product liability claims
Patent infringement suits
Intellectual property disputes
Trade secret litigation

Our Goal is to Ensure the Generation of Accurate and Precise Findings

We are not just another contract lab, instead we hope you will consider us an extension of your company’s laboratory. We aim to be a valuable member of your team, and build long-term relationships with our customers to help us all achieve long term and sustainable successes.
