Experimental Design & Design of Experiments (DOE)
A well-designed study answers the question with the fewest samples and the least ambiguity. Describe what you are trying to learn, and we route the request to specialists who plan experiments and test programmes.
Typical work
- Defining the question, responses and factors worth studying
- Screening designs (fractional factorial, Plackett–Burman) to find the factors that matter
- Response-surface and mixture designs for formulation and process optimisation
- Sample-size and power calculations
- Test matrices that combine laboratory methods, conditions and replicates
- Robustness studies for analytical methods
- Analysis of the completed experiment and recommended next runs
What you should receive
- A written design: factors, levels, run order, randomisation and replication
- The assumptions behind the design and what it cannot resolve
- A sample and material list your laboratory or test provider can quote against
- An analysis approach agreed before the runs start
How Laboratory Vortex fits in
Laboratory Vortex does not perform this work and is not a consultancy, testing laboratory or certification body. We take your request, check it is complete, and route it to providers whose published capabilities match. You compare scope, people and price, and contract with the provider directly.
