Infinita Lab harnesses the capabilities of different labs and experts, commercial or academic, to solve the problems of our clients. Our smart database of expertise of labs in the USA allows us to quickly deliver optimized custom solutions to our clients. Can you explain the engagement process from start to finish?

That is quite likely to happen, and that is why we have the world’s best experts for discussion as needed, and that too free of cost. I have a unique experiment for which a custom build setup may be necessary. Can Infinita Lab find resources to build the setup and perform the test? Yes. We are fulfilling such requests every day!
