Excellent service from a very professional company.
The Perfectus team were responsive, knowledgeable and professional; the study was performed to high quality standards and to promised timelines. Service was excellent.
The work was carried out to a high standard and the project and report were delivered on time. The recommendations it contained were very helpful. Got very friendly and professional support from the team both when setting up the testing and afterwards when discussing the results and next steps.
Working with Louise was very easy and professional. I appreciated her emailing me mid project to say that things were looking good and that the analysis would be completed and delivered on time.
Jacob Clary – Abbott Diabetes Care
Working with Perfectus Biomed has been an absolute pleasure. They truly believe in the adage that customer service is king, and have repeatedly gone the extra mile to ensure that the true purpose behind our testing requirements has been met. Even factoring in the exchange rate, and the extreme distance between us in South Africa and their UK facility, we will still use them time & again going forward!

Medical Devices
We can use the PMM to test for bacterial adhesion to and host cell toxicity of experimental devices.

Urogenital Health
Since much of the human genital tract is composed of mucosal tissue, the PMM can be used for predictive preclinical testing of compounds or products related to urogenital health.

Inflammation and Biocompatibility
The PMM offers a unique way to investigate inflammatory cytokine concentrations in a cost-effective manner. We can perform ELISAs and multiplex assays to determine whether experimental compounds are pro- or anti-inflammatory.

Infectious Diseases
Mucosal tissue is an ideal environment for microbial growth, making the PMM an excellent application for testing the efficacy of products to treat infectious disease pathogens. We can test for efficacy against planktonic and biofilm infections with this model.
