When you need outside testing support, we can help
From Food & Beverage Manufacturing, Environmental, Petrochemical, Pharmaceutical to Paint Industries, and Heavy Metal to Medical Component Testing, Northern Testhouse is your friendly partner offering time and cost effective contract lab testing in the UK.
Qualified and experienced chemists available to help
Imagine your machines break down and you need testing done at short notice.
Or the orders come flooding in but you don’t have the capacity to fill them.
Maybe your current testing process is taking too much time and costing too much money.
Or, as is very often the case, you don’t have the equipment, resources or expertise to perform testing outside of your usual remit
At NTH, our qualified and experienced chemists can help.
With many larger labs paring down their services, NTH can fill the gap left behind in your development plans. Even better – we keep everything within the UK, right here in Leicestershire, and offer you a single point of contact to handle your enquiry from start to finish. Outsourcing abroad may sometimes seem like the most cost-effective option, but between language gaps, shipping times and time differences, it can make more sense to trust an expert in the UK. An expert like NTH.
