The Center for Scientific Excellence (CSE) at Walsh University is a state-of-the-art fee-for-services analytical laboratory focused on providing concierge analytical services and scientific consulting at rates that are below industry average. Modern instrumentation and seasoned faculty drive innovation and research and development for clients locally and across the globe.
The CSE utilizes the state-of-the-art instrumentation and expertise to provide clients with low-cost alternatives to expand analytical capabilities for a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, life sciences, health sciences, biotech, environmental, chemical and polymer industries.
Our suite of instrumentation expands access for clients to provide chemical analysis, materials testing, and other specialized analyses at below industry cost on a fee-for-service basis.
"Walsh University gets it! The Center for Scientific Excellence far exceeded our expectations. We brought them an urgent and time-sensitive project that was impacting millions of dollars of inventory. The problem was resolved in under 48 hours and prevented potential costly production delays. An expedited analysis of this nature from a commercial lab would have been significantly more expensive, if even possible.”
