What makes us different?
A Flexible & Customer Focused Approach
We understand that deadlines are tight, regulatory requirements are complex and product registrations can be challenging. That’s why we make flexibility a priority.
Unlike larger labs that often have long wait times – sometimes up to a year – we aim to start projects within weeks. We give you clear timelines and let you know exactly what we need to meet your deadlines. Whether it’s a rapid screening, validation study, or full 5 batch analysis, we work efficiently to get you the results you need, when you need them.
A Team That Truly Cares
We may be a small team, but that’s one of our greatest strengths. Our close-knit group of scientists, analysts and regulatory experts collaborates seamlessly, ensuring projects are completed with care and precision. We recruit not just for skills, but for shared values – curiosity, problem solving and a passion for analytical excellence.
Continual Growth & Innovation
At OAS, we never stand still. We are constantly refining our techniques, expanding our services and investing in new technologies to stay ahead in an ever-evolving industry. Whether you’re an existing client or considering working with us for the first time, you’ll find a partner who is dedicated to delivering outstanding analytical solutions.
