About the Group

Laboratory Info

Our laboratories are based at the Biocentre on York Science Park.  The Biocentre was purpose built for biochemistry testing and analysis, and provides state of the art facilities for us and other biotechnology companies.  Offering a range of completely adaptable laboratory suites and offices along with great business support and development, the Biocentre was the perfect location for YORKTEST to relocate to in May 2005.
 
We have highly qualified laboratory staff who perform the tests onsite.  The innovative blood collection methods used for both our food intolerance and homocysteine tests were developed by our scientists to help make the blood taking part of the tests as easy as possible.
