Midlothian Science Zone Business Forums connect businesses 'in the zone'. Join us at this event to learn more about the Biosafety Services provided by Moredun Scientific, with guest speaker Andy Chadder, Head of in vitro Biosafety who will introduce us to the biosafety services they can offer to businesses in Midlothian and beyond.

Andy is a subject matter expert for biosafety testing, cleanroom validation and manufacturing who has contributed to numerous successful regulatory inspections from MHRA, US FDA and other competent authorities.

Moredun Scientific conducts regulatory compliant, contract biosafety testing of biopharmaceuticals, cell lines, virus seeds and bulk harvests to ensure that client’s products are free from contaminating adventitious agents (e.g. bacteria, viruses, mycoplasma).

The company tests a range of biopharmaceutical types including therapeutic antibodies, recombinant proteins, vaccines and cell therapy products. Their portfolio of pharmacopoeial compliant assays includes GLP In vivo and GMP Microbiology Tests.

The experienced biosafety testing team work in partnership with clients to ensure the on time delivery of test results.

Moredun Scientific is the commercial arm of the Moredun Foundation, established in 1988. Profits are transferred to the Foundation, which uses the funds to support further research programmes at the Moredun Research Institute, on Pentlands Science Park.

Both Moredun Research and Pentlands Science Park are long-standing Partners of Midlothian Science Zone and this is an excellent opportunity to find out more about what they can offer 'in the zone' and beyond.
