Most large-scale labs are bound by rigid, pre-defined scopes. If your product is novel or your project is non-standard, they often can’t help.
At Orion, we operate out of the world-class Sci-Tech Daresbury campus. While we are currently progressing toward formal ISO accreditation, we already strictly adhere to ISO 17025 quality management systems.
This gives you the best of both worlds: the data integrity required for regulatory submission, combined with the flexibility to design custom protocols that “off-the-shelf” labs simply won’t touch.
We’ve worked with several labs over the years, but Orion stands out for their professionalism and flexibility. Their tailored testing approach saved us both time and cost while ensuring full compliance with healthcare standards.
