Services to Help You Achieve, Monitor, and Maintain Biosafety.
For 40 years, Quip Laboratories has provided the chemistry, the equipment, and the expertise that research facilities need to keep operations running, compliance documented, and pathogens controlled. Our managed service programs handle the logistics, the compliance documentation, and the chemistry expertise — so your team can stay focused on the science.
Comprehensive biosafety services for life sciences, biotech, and pharmaceutical facilities
Each program is designed to operate as a managed service — Quip Labs handles the chemistry, the equipment, the logistics, and the documentation so your team doesn't have to.
Cage Wash Chemical Management
MaestroChem® is Quip Laboratories' turnkey cage wash chemical management system — proprietary detergents, automated dispensing, QuipGard remote tank monitoring, electronic documentation, and dedicated on-site service. A documented case study showed a 48% decrease in total cage wash program costs year-over-year.
- Proprietary chemistries including cold water formulations
- Automated dispensing with per-washer usage data
- QuipGard remote monitoring prevents unexpected shutdowns
- Electronic service reports for IACUC compliance
- Professional installation, training, and ongoing maintenance
Professional Decontamination Services
QuipDecon® delivers validated, multi-stage decontamination for vivarium, BSL-3/ABSL-3, and laboratory animal care facilities. Our structured 3-step surface decontamination, ATP validation, and aerosolized silver-stabilized dry mist hydrogen peroxide treatment via the Halo Disinfection System ensure verified pathogen elimination — not just a fog and a certificate.
- 3-step surface decontamination with proprietary chemistries
- ATP validation between stages — not just the final step
- Halo Disinfection System for whole-room treatment
- In-house teams — no outsourced decontamination crews
- AAALAC, IACUC, and institutional documentation
Water Purification Services
PurityGard™ provides managed water purification programs for research animal drinking water systems. Monitoring, treatment, and documentation ensure water quality meets the standards your facility and regulatory bodies require — without adding water management to your team's already full plate.
- Research animal drinking water quality management
- Ongoing monitoring and treatment programs
- Compliance documentation and reporting
Pathogen Detection & Monitoring
Expanded Lab Services provides environmental and microbiological monitoring, pathogen detection, and surveillance programs for vivariums and research facilities. ATP monitoring, microbial sampling, heterotrophic plate counts, and comprehensive reporting give you the data to make informed biosafety decisions and satisfy institutional compliance requirements.
- Environmental and microbiological monitoring
- ATP testing and microbial contact plate sampling
- Comprehensive reports for IACUC and institutional review
What 40 years of specialization looks like in practice
Research facilities choose Quip Labs because we bring a combination of expertise, service model, and industry focus that broad-spectrum chemical suppliers and general-purpose service providers cannot replicate.
Our Strong Focus on Life Sciences Since 1985
Quip Laboratories has served biomedical research facilities for over 40 years. We understand IACUC documentation demands, AAALAC inspection requirements, BSL classification protocols, and the operational realities of vivariums that cannot tolerate unplanned shutdowns. This is not a sideline — it's all we do.
Proprietary Chemistry Developed In-House
From cage wash detergents and cold water sanitizers to EPA-registered disinfectants and sterilants, Quip Labs develops its chemistries in-house for research facility applications. This means formulations optimized for the specific soil loads, equipment types, and species your facility works with — not repurposed industrial products.
Managed Services — Not Just Products
Every Quip Labs service program is designed as a managed relationship. MaestroChem® handles your entire cage wash chemical program. QuipDecon® provides validated decontamination with in-house teams. PurityGard™ manages water quality. Expanded Lab Services monitors your environment. Your team gets expertise without headcount.
Family-Owned — Built on Facility Relationships
As a family-owned company, Quip Laboratories builds long-term relationships facility by facility. Small and mid-sized facilities gain access to cage wash chemistry expertise, decontamination capability, and biosafety knowledge they could not afford to hire full-time. Larger institutions get an experienced external partner to complement in-house teams.
Documentation That Passes Inspection
Every service program generates documentation designed for regulatory scrutiny — electronic service reports, usage data, validation results, and treatment records. When your AAALAC review, IACUC reporting cycle, or GLP audit arrives, you'll have the paper trail your compliance programs require.
One Partner for Complete Facility Biosafety
Most facilities combine cage wash chemistry from one vendor, decontamination from another, and water treatment from a third. Quip Labs offers all integrated service programs under one relationship — reducing vendor management overhead and ensuring every component of your biosafety program works together.
