Wickham Laboratories

Wickham Micro is a UK-based GMP/GLP contract testing laboratory focused on microbiology services for pharmaceutical, medical device, and combination-product clients. The business provides sterility, bioburden, bacterial endotoxin, microbial identification, environmental monitoring, biocompatibility, and related quality-control and method-validation services spanning early development through product release. Founded in 1962, the company built a long-standing position in outsourced microbiology testing and operates from Gosport, Hampshire. The business was acquired in 2022 by Limerston Capital and now operates as part of Cormica's global laboratory network. Wickham Micro is not a therapeutic drug developer; it is a commercial services company supporting regulated product development, safety, quality, and compliance.
