“ Speed and precision ”
We commissioned Aminoverse with the development and realization of an
enzymatic assay.
The project went according to plan and no technical or other
problems were encountered. We were therefore very satisfied with the result. We
would particularly like to emphasise the communication, the weekly updates, the
flexibility, and the very good understanding of the topic with suggestions. Additional
changes to the original statement of work were no problem for Aminoverse, which
we greatly appreciated.
Sandoz looks forward to continuing to work with
