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.
