  2009,with an objective to provide excellence in testing and calibration services
  and to offer innovative and exceptional analytical solutions.
 STRC is fully conscious of its role in quality control and quality assessment and
  therefore has created facilities as per National and International Standards
  (IP,IS,PFA,BP,USP,ASTM,ISO,EN,USEPA,APHA,AOAC,OIML etc),meeting
  requirements of ISO 9001 and 14001, Drug Control Authority of India and
  NABL(DST), We are continually expanding our capabilities to cover broader range
  of standards.
 The strength of the group lies in its dedicated, multi discipline professionals,
  expert and experienced governing board, innovative management and highly
  Sophisticated instruments with computerized data management system
  complying CFR Part 21 (GLP).

                                                                                     SigmaL
At STRC, we believe in “providing solutions to
clients…what they need and not what they want” by using
state-of-art Instrumentation in the areas of
Chromatography, Spectroscopy, Microscopy and
Mechanical testing and Calibration services.
Regular up gradations reflects STRC’s commitment to
customized solutions.
