Measurement with scientific craft and the context to make it useful.
Cora Science is an independent analytical laboratory providing analytical testing, contract research, and scientific support for established programs and difficult questions.
A laboratory portfolio organized around questions, not just instruments.
Technical review determines fit, reporting needs, sample eligibility, timing, and whether any stated accreditation requirements can be met.
Composition & identity
Targeted chemistry, potency, contaminants, identity, and stability work for products and materials.
Microbiological condition
Culture-based enumeration and detection, with molecular work considered as a separately scoped pathway.
Elements & isotopes
Concentration, trace-impurity, amount-fraction, and isotope-ratio questions for routine and specialty materials.
Methods & investigations
Method support, comparisons, troubleshooting, and contract research when a standard catalog test does not fit.
The work begins before the instrument run.
A sound result depends on the question, material, sampling, preparation, expected range, controls, standards, and reporting plan. We make those assumptions visible early and distinguish what the data supports from what it cannot establish on its own.
Context is not decoration around the number; it is part of the measurement.
Work with the people planning and reviewing the measurement.
Some clients arrive with a complete specification. Others arrive with a material, prior data, or a result they cannot explain. Both are valid starting points.
Direct scientific communication helps establish method fit, surface practical constraints, and keep the analytical plan tied to the decision ahead.

Accuracy. Integrity. Clarity. Communication.
These values guide how we scope work, handle evidence, describe limitations, and communicate with the people relying on the result.
