CHARM SCIENCES INC

CHARM SCIENCES INC specializes in the design, manufacture, and delivery of precision diagnostic test kits and microbiological sampling systems for government and defense applications. The company’s core technical expertise lies in in-vitro diagnostic substances, ATP-based contamination detection systems, and bacterial identification test kits, all engineered for field-deployable, rapid-result performance. Their products include swabs for environmental sanitation monitoring, positive controls for assay validation, and laboratory-grade diagnostic reagents certified for use in high-stakes operational environments. A key differentiator is their ability to integrate molecular detection technologies with ruggedized sampling hardware, enabling reliable pathogen identification in austere conditions without reliance on centralized labs. The contractor maintains a consistent, long-standing relationship with the Department of Defense, supplying mission-critical diagnostic tools for biosecurity, water quality assurance, and medical readiness programs. They also serve the Department of Agriculture with compliant test kits for food safety and pathogen surveillance, demonstrating adaptability across federal health and environmental monitoring missions. Their work supports compliance with CDC, USDA, and DoD protocols for microbial detection and contamination control. Industry focus centers on NAICS 325413 (in-vitro diagnostic substance manufacturing) and 339113 (surgical appliance and supply manufacturing), with secondary strength in instrument manufacturing for electrical signal measurement. This positions CHARM SCIENCES as a niche provider of validated, FDA-regulated diagnostic consumables and field-deployable analytical tools, serving defense, public health, and agricultural inspection markets with FDA-registered, GMP-compliant production processes. As a small business structured as a 2L entity based in Lawrence, Massachusetts, CHARM SCIENCES operates without federal certifications but maintains rigorous internal quality controls aligned with ISO and CLIA standards. Their geographic footprint supports direct logistics to military installations and federal laboratories, reinforcing their role as a trusted supplier of mission-critical diagnostic solutions in the federal biotech supply chain.
