"Diane and Anthias took our team from basic knowledge of chemistry to a firm foundation in gas chromatography and mass spectrometry through a combination of structured tuition, advice on equipment purchase, and on-the-job training. The training session was interesting and engaging, but more importantly made a complex topic comprehensible to people from different backgrounds. Her deep experience setting up and running laboratories allowed us to speed up deployment and avoid mistakes and inefficiencies that we would have inevitably otherwise made. The approach is always helpful and flexible, and I couldn’t recommend more strongly."
