About Reach Separations
Reach Separations was founded in 2011 due to the need for quality separation science services in the UK.

Reach now occupies multiple laboratories at our home in Nottingham’s premier science park – BioCity, and in our French facility in Strasbourg. Our scientists are industry renowned for their expertise and regularly present our latest advances at conferences all around the world.
