Why Choose Us
Why choose ACE
Ace Laboratories is an MHRA-inspected facility operating under UK GMP for both human and veterinary medicinal products. From our purpose-built laboratory in Edgware, we carry out chemical and microbiological testing under one roof, with analytical data managed through validated systems — OpenLAB CDS and a validated LIMS — so that audit trails, access controls, and traceability are in place from sample receipt to reporting. What that means in practice is that you deal directly with the people doing the testing, and that we communicate clearly on results — including prompt notification and explanation of any out-of-specification findings.
Testing Under UK GMP
We are an MHRA-inspected facility operating under UK GMP. Every test produces the documented, traceable evidence clients need for regulatory submissions and batch release.
Documented Quality Systems
A documented quality system sits behind every test — change control, deviation handling, and corrective and preventive action — so results are dependable and any issue is properly investigated and recorded.
Reliable Expertise
Our chemists and microbiologists average nine years' experience in pharmaceutical testing, with ten holding postgraduate qualifications. They handle both routine quality control and more demanding analytical work, and you deal directly with the people doing the testing.
Part of Aurobindo group
Since 2024 we have been part of the Aurobindo Pharma Group. We continue to test from our established Edgware facility, keeping our own identity and standards while drawing on the resources of a larger group.
Together, these allow us to provide UK pharmaceutical manufacturers with consistent, well-documented testing they can depend on.
