Press Release : Market-leaders combine to form the Unilabs Drug Development Services Group  

 

York Bioanalytical Solutions (YBS) and Capio Diagnostik Denmark join forces under the name Unilabs Drug Development Services to strengthen their position as market leader in bioanalytical support for drug development studies.  The new structure and brand brings together established bioanalytical and logistics services and gives a solid platform to build on the recognised reputation for quality and delivery.  

As a leading supplier of bioanalytical and logistics services to the global pharmaceutical and biotech industry, Unilabs Drug Development Services will offer a comprehensive list of analytical techniques including LC-MS/MS and immunoassay for both small and large molecule bioanalysis.  Yvonne Lech, Managing Director of Unilabs Drug Development Service Group, stated: “The fact that we are now united under a single brand name and symbol will give us a distinctive competitive advantage. It strengthens our integration work, where our ambition is to provide an even better service offer to our customers, building on our total experience and competence.”  

Unilabs’ personnel are selected on the basis of their professional attitude, experience and commitment to  maintaining and enhancing the quality and range of services Unilabs provide: scientific competence enables Unilabs to quickly develop robust assays that run consistently and efficiently. An independent QA group ensures that exacting standards are maintained.  

Jeremy Cook, Managing Director (York) of Unilabs Drug Development Services Group said:” The Unilabs commitment to customer satisfaction and service ensures the level of quality and growth required to meet the future needs of pharmaceutical and biotech clients.”  

The new brand is designed to reflect today’s Unilabs – a customer-oriented company that will continue to be a strong force in bioanalytical support for the drug development industry.
