Knowledge is not stagnant. The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, but the illusion of knowledge.
(Daniel J. Boorstin, The Discoverers, 1983)
At Vitas, we are committed to consciously expanding our knowledge in all our fields of expertise as part of our pursuit of scientific excellence. We recognize the essential role of our staff's participation, initiative, and cooperation in our success and encourage self-improvement to achieve scientific excellence.
Our scientists at Vitas have the expertise to develop tailored methods for each project, avoiding shortcuts by assuming that one method that worked for a product will work for a similar one. We often use multiple analytical techniques or operators to ensure accuracy and quality of results.
Our effective problem-solving approach involves collaboration with sponsors throughout the scientific process. We listen, ask questions, design, plan, apply, and produce data and results. We report the results in a meaningful way and provide valuable answers to our sponsors.
However, it is not enough to have knowledge; we must also apply it to create services and products that benefit all life. Therefore, we also engage in publishing results and commercializing services.
At Vitas, we apply our knowledge to make a difference in the world.
