Life Sciences Testing Services Transition
The Element Materials North American Life Sciences Testing Services businesses and laboratories were acquired by Eurofins on October 1, 2026. The transaction includes biopharma products, medical device, CDMO, environmental, food, and antimicrobial testing, plus related life sciences services within Element’s North American laboratory network. Some service content on Element.com is therefore moving to Eurofins. Element continues to provide many other testing, inspection, and certification services. If you came here for a specific testing service, laboratory capability, technical resource, or expert profile, it may be transitioning to Eurofins. Element remains committed to customer support and service continuity throughout the transition.
