Bionique, a local testing lab with offices in Lake Clear and downtown Saranac Lake, that specializes in keeping medicines safe from bacteria, is preparing to triple its size — in both its physical space at the Lake Clear site and in its staffing. According to the Adirondack Daily Enterprise, after the locally grown lab was acquired by the Japanese chemical company Asahi Kasei in 2021, Bionique CEO Gladis Zamparo promised local facility and employment expansion. Now, it appears they are making good on that promise.
