Microbiology testing
services for Biological
products.
We help biological product companies validate, document, and scale microbiological-based solutions through defensible microbiology testing services – for early development, commercialization, and regulatory submission.
01 | WHY VALICENTRA
A narrow lab is a deep lab.
Microbiology in focus.
Fit-for-Purpose approach
We focus on fit-for-purpose microbiological testing biological and human-use products, with the goal of ensuring accurate CFU enumeration and robust data for regulatory studies.
Regulatory defensibility
Our goal is to generate microbiological data that stands up to regulatory scrutiny. By applying fit-for-purpose testing and robust GLP workflows where needed, we aim to support results suitable for regulatory submissions.
Technical expertise
Valicentra is built on strong microbiological expertise, particularly in Bacillus spp., spore-forming organisms, contamination, and CFU enumeration. Our work combines practical laboratory experience with scientific understanding to ensure reliable methods and high-quality data.
Built for biologicals, experts in Bacillus spp.
We don’t dilute our expertise across every field of expertise. We model viability, spore states and field conditions — not assumptions.
Scientific integrity
Our work is guided by rigorous scientific thinking, careful experimentation, and transparent reporting, ensuring that every result is reliable and credible.
Service & collaboration
At Valicentra, we believe strong collaboration leads to a better study outcome. Our approach is to work closely with our clients to understand their products, timelines, and regulatory needs, ensuring clear communication and a supportive partnership throughout the study process.
02 | THE PROBLEM
Microbiology isn’t chemistry.
Treating it like it is may cost
months of frustration —
and missing an important
sales window.
Microbiological-based products are alive. Their data has to survive sporulation (e.g., Bacillus-based products) cycles, real formulations, real storage, and real regulators. We see the same six failures across the industry. That can cost you not only your valuable time and lots of frustration, but also a valuable sales window for your product.
01
Inconsistent CFU counts
Plate-to-plate variability that erodes confidence in release data, efficacy, and stability claims.
04
Fragile methods
Generic methods miss matrix effects, sporulation states, and product-specific behaviour.
02
Shelf-life uncertainty
Live cells and spores behave unlike chemistry — predictions made on the wrong model fail in the field.
05
Formulation instability
Carriers, coatings and pH shifts quietly kill viability between manufacture and end use.
03
Regulatory delays
Submissions stall when method validation, documentation or batch consistency don’t hold up
06
No specialist partner
Generalist labs are used to chemistry. You need a CRO built for living systems.
03 | SERVICES
Two tracks. One specialism.
Whether you’re heading into a regulatory submission (and need Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) compliance), want to add commercial value to your biological product, or need consultancy support and troubleshooting, we assist and run the microbiological studies that hold up.
TRACK A
GLP-Aligned
Regulatory Testing
For biological pesticides, plant protection products & registered actives.
- CFU enumeration (viable count)
- Method development & validation
- 5-batch consistency studies
- Contamination testing
- Stability & shelf-life studies
- Residue studies
- Documentation for regulatory submission
- Consultancy – Microbiological support & troubleshooting
TRACK B
The Commercial Route
Commercial QC & Testing
For companies that want to add commercial value and have their clients trust in their bacterial-based product.
- Product QC — CFU enumeration
- Shelf-life & stress testing
- Formulation robustness
- Matrix effect studies
- Compatibility (fertilizers, coatings, pH, temp)
- Consultancy – Microbiological, production support & troubleshooting
04 | SERVICE-MINDED
We Understand Your Timelines
We understand that regulatory and product development timelines are critical. At Valicentra, our approach is designed to ensure that future studies can be planned efficiently, communication remains clear, and results are delivered within required timelines.
In the biological pesticide and agricultural industry, development timelines are often tied to field seasons and regulatory deadlines. Missing a key window can significantly delay a product launch. At Valicentra, we understand these constraints.
05 | WHO WE WORK WITH
Wherever biologicals show up, we have the bench.
Biopesticides
Bacillus thuringiensis, subtilis, licheniformis, amyloliquefaciens, and friends — registered actives, EU/US dossiers.
Biostimulants & fertilizers
Live and spore-based formulations for soil and foliar application.
Microbial R&D
Early-stage strain characterisation, method scouting, screening assays.
Production & QC teams
In-house support and consultancy for release testing and troubleshooting.
06 | WHERE WE ARE
We are GLP compliant.
Partnering with early collaborators.
Valicentra was founded in 2026. We are in compliance with the OECD Principles for Good Laboratory Practice and are ready to conduct microbiological GLP studies. The Statement of Compliance was issued by DANAK, the national accreditation body in Denmark, appointed by The Danish Safety Technology Authority under the Ministry of Industry, Business and Financial Affairs.
We’re deliberately not publishing client logos yet — we’re in active conversations with biological product companies, and we’ll let them tell their story when they’re ready.
Pilot projects
Open to scoped pilots that de-risk a method or product question.
Long-term collaboration
Most engagements evolve into multi-study programs.
Early access pricing
