Samples You Can Trust
- Research Tissue Bank (RTB) – ethically approved
- Longitudinal biofluids from FluA and RSV characterisation studies
- Prospective sample collection tailored to your study requirements
Compliance & Quality
We operate under the strict UK ethical and regulatory standards, from collection to biobanking. Our processes guarantee traceability, consent compliance, and quality assurance for every sample provided.
Our Research Biobank approval allows our samples to be utilized in ethically approved projects without further applications.
However if your project needs require expanded scope or new sample collections, our medical writers can help with your application process.
Donor & Sample Data
We are GDPR, UKDP compliant organization. Our participant recruitment department manages all patient information.
Samples accompanied by PCR viral titres, antibody titres, donor demographics, symptom diaries etc, collected over multiple timepoints form pre-infection to 28-days post infection (depending on the virus incubation time).
