Sectors
Biotechnology & healthcare
As a leader in the development of the bio-measurement system, LGC
works with the Biotechnology and Healthcare sectors to enable
businesses to compete and provide innovative products for improved
quality of life. Our international reach gives us close access to
the latest technologies and an unrivalled knowledge and expertise
that bridge the gap between technological invention and analytical
application.
We have established a unique combination of cutting-edge
measurement platforms and techniques to address the key measurement
challenges being faced by this sector:
Mass spectrometry - exploiting the
power of new mass spectrometry technologies and the intelligent
coupling of modern separation methods to develop methods of
analysis to improve accuracy, traceability and uncertainty for
ultra trace levels of analytes. These methods can be applied to
complex matrices ranging from body fluids and tissues to foodstuffs
and environmental samples
Cell biology - To help our customers
realise the full potential of their cell-based applications, LGC
offers a comprehensive research and development service in
cell-based analysis. We are applying measurement solutions to a
range of industrial applications for our customers that include
predicative toxicology and regenerative medicine.
Molecular biology - Our capabilities
cover a wide range of qualitative and quantitative approaches for
nucleic acid measurement addressing challenges including drug
discovery, diagnostics, health technologies, food and environmental
analysis.
Nanotechnology - We offer a range of
highly specialist services and advice to support customers working
in the nanoscience field that include methods for nanoparticle characterisation and in vitro nanotoxicity testing and also
the provision of characterised nanoparticle
reference materials.

UK’s National Measurement Institutes (LGC, NPL and TUV NEL) have developed the
Measurement
Network on the Technology Strategy Board’s _connect
platform as an effective and powerful forum for people
interested in measurement science to share information,
collaborate, discuss ideas and identify events within relevant
scientific communities.
