Helix Biological Laboratory LLC
Exceeding the Expectations with Innovation and Imagination

One of the biggest trends existing today in the analytical services space is increased laboratory outsourcing. Companies with in-house labs often lack the ability to deliver state-of-the-art testing to the standard required, either owing to the lack of proper equipment, skilled expertise, or in-house cost. This is where Helix Biological Laboratory steps in. “Laboratory testing and analysis is constantly evolving. There is an increasing need for testing and analysis that require the tools of biotechnology. Our extensive experience and expertise in leading edge molecular and microbiological technologies sets us apart from other laboratories,” says Tom Prychitko, Ph.D., the Laboratory Director at Helix Biological Laboratory.

From the very beginning, Helix Biological Laboratory has been driven by the mission to house diverse capabilities and be able to implement testing solutions for the “outside the box” or more “exotic” type of test requests. The ability to evolve, adapt and diversify are among the lab's major strengths. That’s why it is today capable of performing a wide range of testing/analysis on a variety of sample types. The company provides a full range of molecular biology and biochemistry-based services for research and regulated projects, as well as many types of bioassay and analytical testing that include genomic, diagnostic, and forensic analyses. Some of the projects that the company has participated in include genotyping analysis, environmental DNA analysis, and microbial source tracking analysis, to name a few. This diversity and capability to perform unique, custom design assays are attributes that definitely distinguish Helix Biological Laboratory from competitor laboratories.

Helix Biological Laboratory is continuously engaged in investigating the latest leading-edge testing and analysis methods and technologies and implementing them into its laboratory testing procedures.To be a top-flight service laboratory, a lab must provide testing and analysis that is to the highest standard and highest efficacy possible and offer attractive incentives that include cost effective testing methods, fast turn-around times, outstanding customer service and exceptional technical expertise.

Helix Biological Laboratory is able to accomplish this and support its laboratory’s high-quality professional standards through the use of current state-of-the-art equipment technology, along with comprehensive skills and technical expertise.

When a client contacts Helix Biological Laboratory, the company focuses on actively listening to all details of a client’s request and understand their specific issue and need. The next step is to determine the method that is best suited to perform testing/analysis and obtain accurate results. “Sometimes my lab receives a more unique request from a client that requires the design, development, and implementation of a novel approach. Helix Biological Laboratory welcomes that type of challenge, and the lab has prided itself on its capability to custom design assays to directly meet the needs of clients,” states Dr. Prychitko. The company works to “creatively solve problems” for clients and show personal commitment to them. “As Laboratory Director of Helix Biological Laboratory, I believe in going the “extra mile” and doing whatever it takes to find the means to solve the testing needs of our clients. This ability is one of the factors that distinguish us from other laboratories in the space,” says Dr. Prychitko.

Being a visionary, Dr. Prychitko actively seeks new opportunitiesand is able to envision the next step and progression for Helix Biological Laboratory. “I believe that having a vision is the key factor for being a successful laboratory business entrepreneur, along with possessing a great sense of imagination,” he informs. He goes on to mention that Helix Biological Laboratory is focused on the food and beverage, medical, and agricultural industry. Diagnostic testing kits designed for use in the food and beverage industry and the medical industry would target the detection of pathogenic organisms that may occur on surfaces, equipment, and product containers. In the agricultural industry, there exist a large number of pathogenic microorganisms that cost the agricultural industry millions of dollars in damage every year to their fruit, vegetable, and ornamental plants. An economical, easy-to-use diagnostic testing kit designed to target these specific pathogens and provide a means of early detection of infection would be extremely valuable to the agricultural industry. “At Helix Biological Laboratory, our top priority is to build a respectful and professional relationship with each one of our clients,” concludes Dr. Prychitko.
