Uptime Lab Services acquires and operates the mission-critical service businesses that keep America's labs, regulated facilities, and testing operations running, compliant, and on time.
Partner with owners ready for the next chapter, on their terms.
Respect the businesses, and the people who built them.
Help strong companies keep doing what they already do well.
To build the next great independent services company in life sciences, rooted in operator experience and long-term relationships.
We acquire and operate independent lab services businesses, and partner with their founders to keep the work going.
Each one represents an essential part of how pharma, biotech, and university labs stay running, stay compliant, and stay on time.
Calibration, preventive maintenance, repair, and multi-vendor service contracts that keep the aging install base of mass spec, HPLC, sequencing, and analytical instruments running.
Commissioning, qualification, validation, and quality systems for regulated pharma and biotech clients. License-to-operate work, not a checkbox.
Routine analytical and bioanalytical testing labs where instrument reliability and turnaround time decide whether the contract renews.
Profitable, independent, B2B service businesses with recurring revenue, a loyal customer base, and a team worth keeping. We focus on three kinds of work.
Regional multi-vendor service, calibration, preventive maintenance, and service-contract businesses serving labs, universities, biotech, and clinical customers.
Commissioning, qualification, validation (CQV/CSV), and quality businesses supporting pharma, biotech, med-device, and regulated manufacturing.
Food safety, environmental, materials, and other high-throughput testing where the work is required to ship or required to operate.
We're typically looking at companies with $3 million to $10 million in EBITDA. If that's the company you built, we should talk.
What every decision we make and every partnership we build comes back to.
We come from the work. Two decades inside life sciences companies, including seven years running global P&Ls. We know the install base because we helped build it. Your technicians will recognize that on day one.
Labs aren't buying calibration certificates. They're buying the certainty that the next run starts on time. We respect what it took your team to earn that trust, and we have no interest in optimizing it away.
One business to run, not a portfolio. Long-term ownership over short-term wins. We invest in the people, honor the legacy, and stay the course when things get hard.
Whether you're an owner thinking about a transition, or a service company looking for a long-term partner, we'd love to hear from you.
