Biological evaluation & chemistry testing

Your quote, now. Not in three weeks.

Getting a price for biocompatibility testing usually means emails, a scoping call, and a fortnight of waiting. Here you select the tests and see the number — priced, scheduled, and running under one ISO 13485 quality system.

Use the tools before you use us

Built for our own scientists, opened up because the questions they answer are the ones every device team asks first.

Test plan builder
Answer four questions about your device and see which ISO 10993-1:2025 endpoints apply — with the reasoning for each, not just a list.
Build a plan ›
Sample size calculator
How many devices to send for each test, and for the whole program. Cut-and-share pooling means the total is usually less than the sum.
Calculate samples ›
Turnaround & method detail
Every method page is open — standard, extraction conditions, scoring, what a pass tells you and what it does not. Only pricing is gated.

Why create an account

It is the unlock, not a toll gate

Pricing is contracted per client, so it cannot be shown publicly. Approval takes one business day and costs nothing.

Create your account
Your contracted pricing, instantly
No scoping call, no waiting on a quote. Price a whole program in minutes.
Save and name estimates
One per device or project. They stay on your account, re-price if anything changes, and go for review when you are ready.
Export for budgets and grants
A document you can put in a budget justification or circulate for approval.
Submit and track programs
Send an estimate through for review. Once we convert it to an order you can follow the work, and reorder from history when the next revision comes.
ISO 13485:2016 certified
Every program we manage runs under Groenakker’s certified quality system, whichever laboratory performs the work.
One standard across the network
Every laboratory is ISO/IEC 17025 accredited and GLP certified to the standard versions FDA recognizes, and has been audited by FDA.
Experts author every assessment
Automation handles the mechanical work; qualified experts author and complete every assessment. Where one requires a board-certified toxicologist, a DABT signs it.

Not sure where to start?

Use the plan builder — it is free, it needs no account, and it will tell you which endpoints your device actually calls for before you spend anything.

Test catalog & estimates

Price a program in minutes.

Search by endpoint, method or GRK number, add what your evaluation calls for, and the total prices as you go. Turnaround and sample counts come with it.

Start here
Every program starts with a Biological Evaluation Plan.

The BEP sets the endpoint matrix for your device’s contact type and duration under ISO 10993-1:2025, justifies every test you run — and every one you leave out — and is the first document an FDA reviewer or notified body asks for. Testing without one is testing without a defence.
