About Us
Science With Purpose
We believe science is at its best when it's solving real-world problems, keeping patients safe, products clean, and diagnostics reliable. Since 1971, we’ve advanced from a small regional lab to a global provider of biological reference materials and contract research services supporting infectious disease, molecular diagnostics, and clinical genomics.
Microbiologics supports the science behind every reliable result whether it’s supporting drug and vaccine development, validating a diagnostic assay, advancing precision medicine, or ensuring the safety of consumer products. Our biological reference materials and CRO laboratory services help scientists solve complex challenges and bring safer, smarter health solutions to the world.
Our Mission
Empowering life sciences to advance a safer, healthier world.
Every product we develop, every partnership we nurture, and every test we run is in service of this mission. Because at the end of the day, we’re not just creating materials. We’re creating confidence in science.
