About Our Expertise

Why B2S?

Development of contemporary biotherapeutics is complicated because of increased structural complexity and evolving treatment modalities.  B2S Life Sciences is uniquely qualified for achieving bioanalytical success as we are a Biotherapeutic Enablement Company. We leverage our combined expertise in custom critical reagents and regulated bioanalysis to deliver bioanalytical solutions for biotherapeutic drug candidates and diagnostics.

Our custom reagents are specifically designed, manufactured, and characterized to optimize their performance for the intended bioanalytical purpose. Moreover, we store all custom critical reagents in LCM+, our controlled proprietary life cycle inventory management system. This helps ensure long-term stability, consistency in performance and provides a well-documented chain-of-custody for regulatory compliance. When combined with our extensive range of complementary downstream services, we are uniquely qualified to deliver R&D services to pharma, biotech, CROs and diagnostic companies.

Our History and Evolution in Biotherapeutic R&D.

Today the B2S Life Sciences’ team has over 100 years of combined experience in biotherapeutic R&D. Our experience enables us to design and implement bioanalytical strategies that utilize high quality critical reagents and data analytics to deliver optimized solutions for clients.
