About

An independent analytical laboratory.

ZERA Bioanalytics analyses samples submitted by clients and issues reports that state what the instruments measured. Each report carries a verification key that confirms the record privately, without exposing the result to anyone else.

ZERA sells analysis. It does not supply, sell or distribute any substance, and it does not advise on the use of any substance. That boundary is what independence means here: the laboratory has no commercial stake in what a result shows.

What the laboratory holds itself to

Operating constraints rather than aspirations. Each one is visible in how the site and the reports behave.

Confidentiality
Samples are logged against a reference rather than a client name. Results are released to the client who submitted the sample, and to nobody else.
Precision and accuracy
Methods are selected for the analytical question, and every report states which method was applied and what it measured.
Scientific integrity
Reports state measured values. They do not interpret those values as advice, and they do not adjust to what a client hoped to see.
Transparency
Analytical scope, method and result format are stated before an order is placed, not discovered afterwards.
Independent testing
ZERA analyses samples submitted by clients. It does not supply, sell or distribute any substance, and holds no commercial interest in what a result shows.
Global accessibility
Samples are accepted from clients worldwide. The sender remains responsible for the export, import and customs rules applicable to them.
