Testing and Analysis
We provide companies of all sizes with access to UCL's world-class laboratory expertise and specialist facilities.
The testing and analysis services we deliver through UCL Consultants reflect the breadth and depth of expertise across UCL. Our work ranges from independent verification and performance testing through to collaborative development, simulation and prototyping, depending on the needs of each project.
To make this breadth easier to navigate, we have grouped our testing and analysis capability into four overarching areas below. Each area brings together related expertise, facilities and approaches, and is designed to support complex, real‑world challenges across research, industry and the public sector.
Through UCL Consultants, clients can access a broad range of life science testing and analysis, drawing on specialist academic expertise and facilities across UCL. Our work spans biological, biomedical and clinical research, supporting projects from early-stage investigation through to applied and translational studies.
We deliver tailored testing and analytical services including advanced imaging, materials and cell characterisation, molecular and genetic analysis, human tissue access, and bioprocess development at laboratory and ultra‑small scale. We work closely with clients to shape each project, ensuring the analysis is appropriate, robust and aligned to your technical, regulatory and commercial objectives.
Through UCL Consultants, clients can access specialist testing and analysis focused on how buildings, infrastructure and public spaces are designed, experienced and perform in practice. Our work supports the creation of environments that are safe, accessible, sustainable and responsive to the needs of the people who use them.
We deliver projects that combine physical testing, environmental measurement and behavioural analysis, from full‑scale simulation and virtual modelling through to on‑site monitoring and evaluation in live environments. This approach allows us to test complex scenarios, understand real‑world use, and generate robust evidence to inform design decisions, policy development and operational improvements across the built environment.
Through UCL Consultants, clients can access advanced testing, analysis and prototyping capabilities that support the development of novel materials, devices and manufacturing processes. Our work spans engineering, materials science and applied physics, helping organisations move from concept through to validated prototypes.
We support projects operating at the cutting edge of technology, from nanoscale materials and imaging through to highly regulated manufacturing and space‑ready systems. By combining specialist facilities with academic expertise, we deliver practical, evidence‑based analysis that helps de‑risk innovation, meet technical standards and push the boundaries of what is possible in high‑tech manufacturing.
Through UCL Consultants, clients can access specialist engineering testing and analysis that draws on bespoke equipment and multidisciplinary expertise across UCL. Our work supports complex, non‑standard projects where conventional approaches are not sufficient and where precision, reliability and technical assurance are critical.
We deliver tailored engineering analysis across a wide range of applications, from virtual and immersive simulation through to advanced materials testing, biomedical engineering and highly regulated systems. By combining custom‑designed infrastructure with academic insight, we help clients test novel concepts, validate performance and generate robust evidence to support innovation, assurance and decision‑making.
