Analytics and Metrology

Scaling up engineering biology products requires precise measurement and robust reference standards. Biological systems pose unique challenges that demand a multidisciplinary approach to metrology.

Our virtual Analytics & Metrology Lab, set up in collaboration with the National Physical Laboratory, is dedicated to developing industry-led measurement techniques and standards to ensure product consistency, performance validation, and successful commercialisation. We offer a comprehensive array of analytical systems to support the characterisation and measurement of bio-parts and products throughout translational engineering biology.

Our Focus:

• Establishing Standards – Defining key measurement techniques for scalable biomanufacturing.
• Ensuring Quality & Safety – Validating biological reference materials for industry confidence.
• Collaborating for Innovation – Working with SynbiCITE, NPL, and stakeholders to drive adoption.

Through the Centre of Excellence in Engineering Biology, Metrology & Standards, funded in part by BEIS, we are building a framework that bridges research and industry needs.
