Covalent Connect
A different model for analytical outsourcing
Advanced material characterization built around the problem you need to solve, guided end-to-end by Covalent scientists.
Talk to a Scientist
laboratories
across network
Not a directory. A scientific partnership
Covalent Connect connects companies to partner laboratories, university facilities, and unique analytical capabilities through a single Covalent-led experience, not just listed, but managed end-to-end.
Every lab is vetted before it joins
Partner labs are individually evaluated by Covalent scientists for capability, experience, and quality, before any client work is ever placed with them.
Scientific matching, not keyword search
Work is placed with the best-fit lab by capability, analytical experience, and current availability, not who appears first in a list.
One relationship across the entire engagement
A single Covalent point of contact manages labs, timelines, and results from technical scoping through delivery, wherever the work is performed.
Results You Can Act On
Every result is reviewed, contextualized, and interpreted by Covalent scientists before delivery, so the finding connects directly to your decision.
Stop Navigating a Fragmented Ecosystem of Testing Providers
Find the Right Method Faster
Many challenges begin with the wrong test. Our scientists define the correct analytical path before any work begins.
Extend Your Internal Capabilities
Access specialized techniques, unique instrumentation & lab expertise without building internal infrastructure
Reduce Outsourcing Friction
Avoid identifying labs, requesting quotes, and managing fragmented communication across multiple vendors.
Get a Consistent Experience
Work through one scientific partner that manages the entire process, from project definition to final results.
From question to decision,
Covalent stays accountable
One scientific team coordinates the work and keeps the result connected to the decision you need to make, across every lab, every step.
Clarify the question
We start with the technical question and the decision it needs to support, not the instrument or test method.
Select the strategy
Covalent scientists choose the methods, samples, and analytical approach, and identify the right lab from the network.
Run the work
Analysis is conducted in Covalent's Core Lab or the best-fit specialist lab, coordinated and quality- managed throughout.
Deliver clear findings
Results arrive with scientific context and next-step guidance, designed for action, not for further interpretation on your end.
Direct expert access: speak with the scientist doing the work, not a project manager between you and the answer.
Coordinated logistics: sample handling, scheduling, and quality checkpoints managed across the network.
Results designed for action: every deliverable is built around your decision, not a data package you have to interpret yourself.
