Our research laboratories enable you to prepare and validate samples prior to experiments, streamlining your research projects. We offer lab facilities across various science domains, including pre-screening samples, protein crystallisation, crystal harvesting, and handling, storage, and manipulation of active materials.

Data Collection

Our data collection service offers a variety of options to optimise your experiment, regardless of your experience level or the nature of your study. Our skilled specialists can either collect data on your behalf or provide one-on-one training to enhance your skills while gathering data from real samples. They also assist with experimental planning and offer ongoing technical support as needed

Contract Research

Our Contract Research model is the perfect option if you want the assurance of high quality results delivered by our experts. Once contracts have been finalised, all you need to do is provide us with your samples, define your objectives, and work with us to set the parameters for your experiment. 

Our expert scientists will then take over, designing the most effective experiment, collecting data, and completing the agreed analysis. Post-experiment, we will deliver a detailed report, along with an explanation of the findings. You will also have the opportunity to discuss any of the details with your Diamond contact whenever needed; you are also welcome to observe the experiment should you desire.
