Laboratory and research services

Cell culture is the foundation of biological research. By allowing cell and tissue samples to be studied under controlled laboratory conditions, it plays a decisive role in fields from cancer research to drug discovery.

Method

Cellular Analyses

Output

Passaged cell culture ready for experiments

Timing

Timing is planned according to the growth rate of the cell line, the target passage number and the number of replicates.

A cytotoxicity test is a laboratory analysis that measures the effect of a given chemical or material on cells. It is a standard step in assessing the cellular safety of drug candidates, biomedical products and dental materials.

Method

Cellular Analyses

Output

Cell viability percentages by concentration

Timing

Timing is planned according to the number of concentrations, replicates and the incubation period.

Immunofluorescence staining makes specific proteins and biological molecules in cell and tissue samples visible through fluorescently labelled antibodies. The position of the target molecule inside the cell — nucleus, cytoplasm or membrane — can be observed…

Method

Imaging and Staining

Output

High-resolution fluorescence microscope images

Timing

Timing is planned according to whether antibody optimisation is needed and the number of samples.

Immunohistochemistry (IHC) determines the localisation and expression level of proteins within tissue at cellular resolution. Its uses range from pathological assessment to the confirmation of experimental findings.

Method

Imaging and Staining

Output

Stained slides and digital images

Timing

Timing is planned according to the number of sections, the number of antibodies and any optimisation required.

The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is the core molecular biology method for amplifying a target DNA or RNA region with high fidelity. It forms the backbone of work from genetic analysis to gene expression studies.

Method

Molecular Analyses

Output

Isolated nucleic acid with purity/concentration measurements

Timing

Timing is planned according to the number of samples, target genes and any primer optimisation required.

Data collected correctly becomes the weakest link of a study when it is not analysed correctly. Our statistical analysis service evaluates your data with the appropriate method and produces publication-ready outputs.

Method

Data and Publication

Output

A justified list of the tests applied

Timing

Timing is planned according to the size of the data set and the number of comparisons.

The value of a scientific study is directly tied to how clearly its results are presented. This service turns your experimental output into figures that meet the target journal's format criteria and into presentation-ready reports.

Method

Data and Publication

Output

Multi-panel figures meeting journal criteria

Timing

Timing is planned according to the number of figures, panel density and the number of revision rounds.

Project consultancy aims to turn your research idea into a feasible and defensible study. Working with experienced advisers, the literature review, methodology, work-package planning and risk analysis are addressed together.

Method

Consultancy

Output

A clarified research question and hypothesis

Timing

Timing is planned according to the scope of the project and the application calendar.

Ethics committee approval is a precondition for many scientific and clinical studies to begin. An incomplete or inconsistent file can delay a study by months.

Method

Consultancy

Output

A complete application file in the committee's format

Timing

Timing is planned according to file preparation and the meeting calendar of the relevant ethics committee.
