BioVault has achieved a number of accreditations and forged relationships with numerous bodies since 2002, all designed to test the robustness of our internal procedures and reassure clients they are being given the highest levels of quality and service.

Many of BioVault's pioneering systems have been designed to exceed the criteria set out by the Human Tissue Authority (HTA) with whom we work closely.  The HTA is the competent authority under the European Tissue and Cell Directive and sets the standards for regulating human tissue application establishments.
