Supplying quality to science for fifty years

For five decades, Alpha Laboratories has been consistently supporting laboratory and clinical scientists in the UK and around the world, providing high quality products and services for their diagnostic and laboratory requirements.

On this fiftieth anniversary, we remember with fondness the memory and legacy David Giles, founder of Alpha Laboratories Ltd, and continue to drive the key messages upon which the company was founded.

“Alpha Laboratories sources innovative products internationally to support the needs of laboratories in the rapidly advancing healthcare environment. We have developed not only by looking after the customer, but also by considering their patients, always providing products that bring clinical as well as functional or cost saving benefits. As a result, we have gained a solid reputation for being honest, helpful and caring, with a special emphasis on being a friendly organisation too.

Though we’re quite a small player in a diagnostic market that has continually demanding requirements, we find solutions and develop them within the UK. In fact, we’re passionate about helping science improve people’s lives. For me it’s always been a key motivator.”

David Giles, Former founder and Managing Director

Alpha Laboratories uses a network of skilled suppliers to design and manufacture products and solutions to support healthcare innovation and sustainability. Since 1978, the world-renowned Pastette® has been a symbol of our continued commitment to quality laboratory consumables. As healthcare has evolved, so too have we. Having been awarded the very first National Bowel Screening contract for England in 1998, our diagnostics portfolio has developed in line with technology advancements. This continued product development is seen in the newest product to launch, the Urine Test System (UTS).
