Cormica is proud to announce that it has been awarded the title of Top Microbiological Testing Service in the UK 2025 by Life Sciences Review. This achievement reflects the strength and continued growth of Cormica’s integrated microbiological testing offering, centred at its UK laboratory Wickham Micro, based in Gosport, UK, which has more than 60 years of prestige supporting healthcare manufacturers worldwide.
The award was based on industry nominations and independent research assessing Cormica’s technical capability, customer trust, regulatory confidence, and contribution to patient safety. Cormica’s microbiology services cover a comprehensive portfolio including sterility testing, bacterial endotoxin testing (BET), microbial identification, antimicrobial effectiveness testing, biological indicators, environmental monitoring, and bespoke method development to support product performance and market release.
Cormica’s UK microbiology operations are audited routinely by clients and global regulatory agencies. Services are delivered under GMP, GLP, and ISO 17025 accreditations, ensuring reliable data and faster pathways to approval for pharmaceutical, medical device, and combination products.
Mark Hammond, Chief Executive Officer, Cormica, said:
This recognition is a testament to the dedication, expertise, and collaboration of our microbiology team
“Wickham Micro has a long-standing reputation for excellence and innovation, and this award reinforces our continued focus on helping clients navigate complex testing and regulatory demands. I want to thank our clients for their trust and congratulate every member of the team on this achievement.”
Dr Rob Turner, Wickham Micro General Manager, added:
“First and foremost, the two biggest things we value are quality and patient safety. That comes above all else we do. Our customers face increased regulation and rising cost pressures. They want a partner they trust, who understands the regulations, follows them precisely, and delivers results in a cost-effective and timely way.
We have the in-house expertise to take on unique or unconventional projects, not just standard regulatory testing. We have a lot of technical expertise and knowledge transfer to apply from one client and study to another. That is what sets us apart.”
Improving patient lives through trusted testing
This award reinforces Cormica’s mission to improve patients’ lives by providing comprehensive testing services, enabling clients to launch and release their products safely and rapidly across the world.
