Overview

Join the Battelle team and start solving the world’s most pressing challenges.

Battelle's vision is to be a major force in science and technology discovery and in the translation of knowledge into innovative applications that have significant societal and economic impacts.

Steel industrialist Gordon Battelle provided for the Battelle Memorial Institute in his 1923 last will and testament after a career devoted to the idea that science and research can solve problems in business and society as a whole. His vision became our mission when we opened our doors six years later.

Translate scientific discovery and technology advances into societal benefits.

Battelle Crop Protection Solutions is a wholly owned subsidiary of Battelle Memorial Institute and is comprised of approximately 100 scientists. From our modern state of the art laboratory facilities in Chelmsford, Essex and Havant, Hampshire we offer customers in the agrochemical and associated industries the opportunity to outsource the conduct of studies required to optimise the development of their products.

From precision farming methods to complex environmental fate projects, Battelle is solving the problems that matter most to companies that feed the world. We deliver innovative agribusiness solutions that lead to new products and boost existing product productivity while maintaining safety and sustainability within the global food system.

Expert scientists at our facilities in the U.K. perform an array of testing and analysis (GLP and non-GLP compliant), develop new products and provide regulatory and risk assessments.

We have expert scientists in the following areas assisting clients to provide solutions to their real-world problems.

Residue & Analytical Studies

Environmental Fate

Plant & Animal Metabolism

Risk Assessment & Regulatory Support

Apprenticeship, graduate and work experience programmes

Battelle is dedicated to education in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Battelle’s mission is as relevant as ever, we solve global challenges through contract research, lab management, STEM education, philanthropy and volunteerism.

Our industrial placement programs in the UK aim to give students that glimpse of what a career in a scientific field is like, our placements focus on allowing students to develop their analytical skills in many areas, from developing general bench chemistry skills in a GLP regulated environment through to developing, troubleshooting and validating their own methods on complex analytical instruments. We aim to guide and develop students to understand the tasks they are performing and the technology and mechanisms behind the analytical processes.
