About Us

Human Biospecimen Specialists

Logical Biological’s purpose is to enable scientists to create a healthier world by being their trusted partner of choice for biospecimens. We are committed to being exceptionally responsive and provide a broad range of biological samples, while achieving an outstanding level of reliability, customer service, and quality in everything we do.

We strive to understand your specific requirements and identify suitable material through our global network of collection sites. Once material is located, we use your specifications to narrow down the biospecimen options available to a smaller set of samples that most closely meets your needs. This ensures you receive the timely delivery, exceptional service, and superior specimens you expect, all from one biospecimen provider.

Logical Biological’s laboratory & office headquarters are located in the UK at Discovery Park, a purpose-built Research & Development site with world class laboratory facilities situated 1.5 hours southeast of London.
