Q1 Scientific is established in Waterford by serial entrepreneur Louise Grubb with a 5,000sqft facility. Q1 Scientific was the first company in Ireland to specialise in the provision of a stability storage and sample management service

Q1 Scientific offers an outsourcing solution for environmentally controlled stability storage. This service is transforming how pharmaceutical and medical device companies store their products, reducing the time it takes for new drugs to reach the market, and eliminating the need for costly in-house storage chambers. By partnering with Q1 Scientific, you can focus on innovation while we ensure your products are stored under optimal conditions.
Over the past decade, Q1 Scientific has grown significantly, earning multiple awards and certifications, including GMP and ISO 9001. In 2022, the company was acquired by Cambrex, a global leader in contract development and manufacturing. Since then, Q1 Scientific has continued its growth by opening a new facility in Belgium (2023), and in Durham, North Carolina (2024).
