Verification and Transparency Solution

From sample to
credible evidence.

Aura Biocare connects brands, researchers, startups and industry partners with specialist laboratory capabilities. Our current delivery is supported through collaboration with Universiti Malaysia Kelantan laboratories, while we remain open to working with other university laboratories whose expertise fits each project.

Laboratory collaboration

Access to specialist testing through a growing university laboratory ecosystem.

10 laboratory capabilities

Open to university collaboration

The solution

Better evidence.
Clearer decisions.

Built to help organisations strengthen product development, verification and transparent communication with laboratory-based information.

01

Verify

Test samples using appropriate analytical methods to understand composition, quality indicators or biological characteristics.

02

Document

Build a clearer evidence trail for product development, research files and internal quality decisions.

03

Communicate

Support more transparent, evidence-aware product communication without relying on unsupported assumptions.

Established laboratory collaboratorUniversiti Malaysia Kelantan

Current specialist testing pathways are coordinated with UMK according to project scope and laboratory availability.

Laboratory capabilities

One solution,
multiple testing pathways.

These capabilities are currently available through the UMK laboratory collaboration. The appropriate method, sample requirements and scope are confirmed according to each project’s objectives.

01ICP-MS

Metal & Mineral Element Testing

High-accuracy elemental composition testing, including heavy metals and trace elements across different sample types.

02HPLC

Liquid Chemical Compound Analysis

Identification and quantification of chemical compounds, active ingredients or product contents in liquid samples.

03PCR

DNA Analysis

Rapid amplification and detection of DNA for research, diagnostic or organism-identification requirements.

04Electrophoresis

Molecular Separation

Separation of molecules such as DNA and proteins for biological and forensic analysis.

05Potentiostat

Electrochemical Analysis

Voltage and current measurement for studies involving materials, sensors and chemical reactions.

06Microorganism detection

Microbiological Testing

Detection and identification of microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi in food, water or biological samples.

07Active-compound extraction

Plant Extraction

Extraction of active compounds or important substances from plants for herbal, pharmaceutical or cosmetic research.

08Plant-material processing

Herbal Powder Production

Processing plant materials into powdered form for traditional products, supplements or herbal research.

09Specimen documentation

Insect Preservation & Identification

Proper preservation and species identification for research, reference and documentation purposes.

10Scientific specimen care

Plant Specimen Preservation

Correct preservation of plant specimens for study, reference and scientific documentation.

SIRIMISO
Standards & certification pathway

Evidence prepared with recognised standards in mind.

Where a project requires ISO-related assessment or SIRIM certification, Aura Biocare can help clarify the documentation and next-step pathway with the relevant accredited body.

SIRIM and ISO references indicate a potential standards or certification pathway. They do not imply that every laboratory service, project or client product is automatically certified.

Collaborative delivery

A bridge between laboratory capability and real-world needs.

Aura Biocare helps translate the testing requirement into a practical project brief before coordinating with the relevant UMK laboratory capability—or another suitable university laboratory as the collaboration network grows.
