SmartBio Analytics receives the 2026 Business Innovation Award from AETC and ASECATC

SmartBio Analytics recognized with the 2026 Business Innovation Award

We are proud to announce that SmartBio Analytics has received the 2026 Business Innovation Award, presented by the Asociación de Empresas de Tres Cantos (AETC) together with ASECATC.

The award recognizes companies that are making a significant contribution to technological innovation, scientific excellence and economic development within one of Spain’s leading innovation ecosystems.

For our team, this recognition represents much more than an award—it validates our mission of helping pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies accelerate the development of safer and more effective medicines through high-quality LC-MS/MS bioanalysis.

A recognition of innovation in pharmaceutical bioanalysis

Since our foundation, SmartBio Analytics has focused on building a highly specialized bioanalytical CRO capable of delivering fast, reliable and regulatory-compliant analytical services.

Our laboratory supports pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology companies, hospitals, research centres and CROs by providing:

  • LC-MS/MS bioanalysis
  • Bioanalytical method development
  • Bioanalytical method validation
  • Pharmacokinetic (PK) studies
  • Toxicokinetic (TK) studies
  • Biomarker quantification
  • Small molecule bioanalysis
  • Peptide bioanalysis
  • Oligonucleotide bioanalysis
  • Clinical and preclinical sample analysis

Building strategic bioanalytical capabilities in Spain

One of SmartBio Analytics’ main objectives has always been to strengthen Spain’s scientific and pharmaceutical ecosystem.

Based in Tres Cantos (Madrid), we work with national and international clients developing analytical methods that support every stage of drug development—from discovery and preclinical studies through to clinical trials.

As a GLP-certified laboratory operating under GLP and GCP quality standards, we help generate reliable bioanalytical data required for regulatory submissions and informed decision-making.

Why innovation matters in bioanalysis

Modern drug development increasingly relies on sophisticated analytical technologies capable of measuring compounds at extremely low concentrations while maintaining exceptional accuracy and reproducibility.

Innovation in bioanalysis means continuously improving:

  • LC-MS/MS workflows
  • Sample preparation strategies
  • Method sensitivity
  • Laboratory efficiency
  • Data quality
  • Turnaround times
  • Regulatory compliance

At SmartBio Analytics, innovation is not limited to new technologies—it also means finding smarter ways to deliver faster, more reliable results for our clients.
