What we do
Three ways we keep your operation compliant
Testing tells you where you stand. Consulting fixes what the results expose. Training makes sure your own people can hold the standard once we leave.
Consulting
Quality management systems, SOPs, internal audits, risk assessments and water plant optimisation, built to get you through an audit and keep you there.
See consulting services
Training
Practical courses in microbiology and chemistry methods, method validation, root cause analysis and internal auditing, plus work integrated learning for graduates.

From enquiry to signed report
Most people do not enquire because they are not sure how the process runs or what it costs. Here is the whole thing.
You tell us the sample
Sample type, how many, how often and the deadline you are working to. Call, WhatsApp or use the form.
We quote in writing
A fixed price per sample, the exact determinands included and the turnaround time, before any work starts.
Sample collection
We supply sterile containers and chain of custody paperwork. Drop off at either branch or arrange a collection.
Accredited report
A SANAS accredited report with results against the relevant limits, plus a call to walk you through anything that failed.
Get a price
Tell us the sample, we will tell you the cost

Client feedback
What clients say about working with us
Laboratories are judged on two things: whether the number is right and whether anyone helps you understand it. This is what our clients tell us about the second one.
We had a retailer audit in three weeks and a water result we could not explain. BioSel had us back on the bench the same week and walked us through what the numbers actually meant. We passed.
What we value is that someone picks up the phone. When a swab comes back positive you do not want a PDF, you want a person who can tell you where to look next.
Our compliance reporting used to be a scramble every quarter. Having a scheduled programme with the same lab and the same reporting format has taken that stress out completely.
They quoted us a price and a turnaround up front and then met both. That sounds like a low bar until you have worked with a lab that does not.
BioSel helped us build the quality system and then audited us against it before the assessor came. There were no surprises on the day, which is exactly what you are paying for.
What working with us is like
The part clients tell us they did not get elsewhere
You get a person, not a portal
Every quote and every query is handled by someone at the branch handling your samples. When a result needs explaining, the person who can explain it phones you.
You know the date before you send
Your quote carries the price and the turnaround for the exact work you asked for. We do not accept a sample and then tell you when it might be ready.
A failed result comes with a next step
If something comes back over the limit you get a call, not just a PDF. We then help you find the cause and verify that the fix worked.

The sampling checklist that stops results being rejected
Most failed samples are not a lab problem. They are a container, temperature or timing problem. This one page checklist covers all three, for water, food and swab samples.
