Q Laboratories has purchased two buildings in Cincinnati, OH as part of its ongoing capacity expansion. The two buildings are adjacent to the 30,000 sq. ft. lab currently under construction, which is scheduled to be completed in Spring 2018. The new buildings comprise 25,000 sq.-ft., and will serve as administrative offices supporting the company’s microbiology, analytical chemistry and R&D labs.
 
Until the new lab building is completed, Q Laboratories has re-located the Microbiology Pharma Lab to the newly purchased buildings allowing for expansion of both that lab and the Microbiology Food Lab, which will utilize vacated space at the current Harrison Avenue location.
 
Q Laboratories president and chief executive officer, Jeff Rowe said, “Capacity expansion has been a continued focus of the company and we did not want to wait until first quarter 2018 when construction is completed to give these two laboratories much needed space.”
 
Q Laboratories provides microbiology, analytical chemistry and R&D lab services, including: Method Development and Validation, Pathogen Screening, Indicator Organism Enumeration, Nutritional Analysis, Raw Material Qualification, Microbial Identification, Challenge Studies and Shelf Life/Stability Testing.
