Eighteen years of bench work behind every report we sign
BioSel Laboratory Solutions was founded by Tebogo Selekolo and built into a trusted analytical partner across the food, medical, pharmaceutical and water sectors.
The founder story
Started at the bench, not at a desk
Tebogo Selekolo spent close to two decades inside laboratories before starting BioSel in 2013. That background shapes how the lab runs today. Methods are chosen because they answer the client question, not because they are easy to accredit. Reports are written so that a plant manager can act on them without needing a chemist to translate.
The company is headquartered at Bodirelo Industrial Park in Mogwase under the Moses Kotane Municipality, with a second branch in Polokwane. Two locations means samples reach a bench faster in the North West and Limpopo, which is the single biggest factor in turnaround time.
Mission
To give producers, municipalities and industry accredited results they can trust, explained by people who care whether they pass.
Vision
To be the most trusted and most human testing laboratory in Southern Africa.
How we work
- Science. We follow the method, every time, with no shortcuts
- Innovation. We keep asking whether there is a better way
- Quality. We only sign what we would defend in an audit
- People. A person, not a portal. We explain the numbers
Objectives
What we set out to do
High quality, cost effective work
Deliver laboratory solutions that stand up technically without pricing smaller operations out.
Fix the cause, not the symptom
Assist facilities with root cause analysis and corrective action implementation after a failure.
Grow the next generation
Provide mentorship and training programmes that exceed what clients expect from a lab.
The team
Senior people behind the results
Two directors, a laboratory manager, a supervisor and a quality superintendent. Between them they carry the technical sign off, the bench scheduling and the quality system that our accreditation rests on.
