Customised solutions
 
Our daily challenge at Quality Assistance is to fulfil your expectations by finding the best solutions to your problems.
We can provide services à la carte or as a package, managing your project from pre-clinical to proof of concept.  You will be in direct communication with appropriate technically competent people during the complete process.

Scientific networking 

Our recruitment policy is to engage highly-qualified experienced people. 70% of our staff are university graduates, including pharmacists and bachelors, masters and doctors in science.
 
Our in-house expertise and our various partnerships allow us to provide you with an opportunity for scientific networking.  Our experienced, motivated, multidisciplinary teams will ensure your projects are dealt with efficiently and reliably.

Project management

The key factors in project management are flexibility, reactivity and communication.
 
Dedicated project coordinators ensure your projects run smoothly.  Involved from the beginning, they help write the protocol  and, throughout the process, check compliance with this protocol and with your requirements.  They are responsible for keeping you up to date on the progress of your project through to finalisation of the report. 
 
State-of-the-art equipment and premises
 
To keep abreast with latest technologies, we spend around 10% of our annual revenue on equipment.
You can benefit from our purpose-built facilities (5200 m²) where we carry out six main types of activity : molecular biology, physicochemistry, microbiology, bioanalysis, cell culture and storage of samples in stability programmes.
 
In addition to general laboratories, our modern premises include BSL2 and BSL2+ laboratories, facilities for handling cytotoxic products, clean rooms (ISO 5 to ISO 8) and a stability storage suite.  Dedicated pre-clinical and clinical sites belonging to our partners complete the facilities available.
