Bioscientia GmbH

THE BIOSCIENTIA SERVICE

Founded in 1970, Bioscientia (based near Frankfurt, Germany) is perhaps the largest purpose built reference laboratory in Europe with a staff compliment today in excess of 900 professional and technical personnel. With over 25 years experience in the international market, Bioscientia provides a pathology reference service to a wide range of institutions including universities, military and Ministry of Health hospital, clinics, laboratories and pharmaceutical companies world-wide.

Due to the high level of technology and computerisation, samples are processed both efficiently and economically. Most results are available within 24 hours from receipt of specimen.

As part of our professional service, Bioscientia also offers specialised and second opinion reports in a wide area of disciplines using a team of resident and associate consultant pathologists.

Most laboratories cannot process the more esoteric or specialist investigations themselves and therefore rely upon external laboratories to perform those analyses. Bioscientia houses the most modern facilities and over 90% of the samples referred to us are processed within the laboratories, thereby avoiding the annoyance and inconvenience caused due to lost samples or delayed reports.

For the few investigations that require research technology or specialist equipment, Bioscientia maintains an excellent relationship with universities and research institutions internationally.

The economy of pathology referral is an important factor and Bioscientia provides a competitive service without compromising the level of professionalism and efficiency.

As part of the commitment to quality assurance, Bioscientia is CAP (College of American Pathologists) accredited. Bioscientia also participates in many national and international quality control programs, thereby ensuring that the standard of quality within the Institute has been subjected to rigorous external scrutiny.

Since 1991 we are members of the German Healthcare Export Group, an organization which promotes German medical companies abroad.

Specimens are collected and shipped to Germany where they are processed within 24 hours for the majority of investigations. Bioscientia provides all necessary packing materials, sample containers and personalized request forms. Our test list shows reference ranges, sample Requirements and approximate turnaround times. This data is also available on computer floppy disc or via email or via our website.
