“By combining Chemic’s experience within the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries, along with our expertise in trace elemental analysis for the pharmaceutical industry, both Chemic and we are able to offer our respective clients full service analyses for their E&L testing needs,” said Brian LaBine, president, Chemical Solutions.

The cooperation model between the two companies will consist of each company offering each other’s services and direct access to the technical subject matter experts.
