Colin Vincent Centre for Battery Technology
Bridging the gap between lab and pilot-scale manufacture
With state-of-the-art manufacturing lines, and lower minimum volume requirements than prototype-scale facilities, the Colin Vincent Centre for Battery Technology affords an outstanding opportunity for those pursuing the development and testing of novel, cutting-edge battery technologies.
Situated at the University of St Andrews Eden Campus, the facility is perfectly placed to work with a global customer base.
From start-ups to well-established industrial players, we offer manufacturing and analytical services to suit a wide variety of requirements.

Our CapabilitiesWorking with us:
Our services are mainly targeted at organisations and companies looking to develop materials or products from Technology Readiness Level 4 to 6 – however, we are also able to work with those that are between TRL 1-3 or 7-9!
To help define where a company or project may sit on this scale, the list opposite is the guidance issued by the UKRI Science and Technology Facilities Council:
- TRL 1 – basic principles observed and reported
- TRL 2 – technology concept or application formulated
- TRL 3 – analytical and experimental critical function or characteristic proof-of-concept
- TRL 4 – technology basic validation in a laboratory environment
- TRL 5 – technology basic validation in a relevant environment
- TRL 6 – technology model or prototype demonstration in a relevant environment
- TRL 7 – technology prototype demonstration in an operational environment
- TRL 8 – actual technology completed and qualified through test and demonstration
- TRL 9 – actual technology qualified through successful operations
