Our story
MS3 Solutions was founded in 2016 by Dr Grant Smolenski, after more than two decades specialising in the high-end analysis of proteins. The company operates from the Ruakura Research Centre in Hamilton, alongside New Zealand’s agricultural research community.
What we do
We provide contract R&D, assay development and analytical testing to customers across several industries. Some of that work is a standard test on a straightforward sample. A good deal of it is not — a compound nobody offers a method for, or a question that needs an assay building from scratch.
Whichever it is, the scientist who runs the analysis is the person you deal with and the person whose name is on the report.
What we care about
- Say what the data says. A result describes the sample analysed. We report what we measured, and we are clear about what a method cannot tell you.
- Scope it before starting. Method, price and turnaround are agreed in writing before any work begins.
- Be reachable. Customers talk to scientists, not to a queue.
- Improve. Techniques, instruments and methods move on, and so should we.
Accreditation
Where a test requires accreditation it is carried out by one of our partner laboratories, each of which holds its own ISO 17025 accreditation. Our testing partners page sets out who does what. Any accreditation named on this site belongs to the laboratory identified, not to MS3 Solutions.
