Canyon Labs opened a 17,000 square-foot laboratory in Salt Lake City, through which it will offer services for laboratory testing, scientific and technical counseling, and Institutional Review Board clinical support.
 
The company plans to partner with health science organizations throughout the country to offer these services for dietary supplements, medical devices, pharmaceuticals, personal care, and beverages. “WE are filling a need for companies who experience challenges working with testing laboratories who are slow to respond, lose customer samples, and provide poor customer service,” Andy Kawamoto, Canyon Labs’ chief business development officer, said. “Canyon Labs was built to remedy each of those issues, especially for companies in the supplement, nutrition, cosmetic, and pharma space. A comprehensive, one-stop laboratory, such as Canyon Labs, fills a void in the health and wellness category and will be a welcome solution.”
 
Canyon Labs CEO Dr. Haven McCall, who has more than 20 years of laboratory, clinical, and regulatory background, and Dr. David Locke, who also has 20-plus years of experience in the same fields, will be leading the Canyon Labs team, alongside other experts with an understanding of the complexities of products regulated by the FDA.
 
“We provide expert guidance to companies navigating through the complexities of FDA regulation for their products,” McCall said. “We partner with our customers to test, develop, and improve life-changing products through science, innovation, and technology.”
 
“To ensure trust and accountability, our 40-plus years of combined experience working in labs and with labs, alongside our breadth of scientific offerings and high standard of service, will set us apart and will be something clients notice immediately,” Kawamoto said.
