Biological analysis is a key function within health sciences. This mirrors the growth in the biotech sector in general as more companies focus on biological materials as development candidates for tomorrow's medicines.

BMI Environmental Consultancy can offer a 'one-off' service for analysis or method development; or a longer term, ongoing service for routine batch analysis and assessment of material for batch to batch consistency throughout a manufacturing campaign. Client methods can be transferred into us for routine testing and/or validation, or alternatively, methods can be developed in-house to the client's requirements. We can also perform short-term accelerated stability studies or long-term stability studies under stability protocols tailored for the active material or product.

The range of biochemical, physiochemical and biological/immunological characterisation activities offered for the biological or biotech product includes:

• Lmmunoassay development and validation
  
• A range of electrophoretic techniques
  
• Chromatographic methods
  
• Assessing the value of the land / property related to agricultural activity
  
• Compatibility and pre-formulation support
  
• Long-term storage and stability testing facilities
