About 516Labs
The operating layer between a testing requirement and completed laboratory work.
516Labs is an asset-light managed testing network created by Lumens Technologies Corp. We coordinate demand, qualification, quotes, logistics and workflow while qualified performing laboratories remain responsible for analytical work and original reports.
Qualification before price
Method, matrix, intended use, jurisdiction, accreditation, logistics and sample integrity come before commercial comparison.
