Molecular Research
We provide molecular, biochemical and histological analysis of research samples in our Genomics, Histopathology and Microscopy Labs. Human-derived samples must be coded and supplied without direct identifiers, with ethical approval and donor consent in place.
PCR and RT-qPCR
Quantification of gene expression by RT-qPCR, and PCR-based characterisation of genetic variants associated with disease.
ELISA
Quantification of protein biomarkers, including inflammatory markers, in serum, tissue homogenates and cell samples.
Western blot
Detection and semi-quantitative analysis of protein expression in tissue and cell lysates.
Sequencing
Sanger sequencing for confirmation of PCR products and targeted genetic variants.
Histopathology
Tissue processing and sectioning, H&E and Nissl staining, and quantitative image analysis of tissue sections.
Immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence
Detection and localisation of target proteins in tissue sections, imaged by brightfield and fluorescence microscopy.
Biochemical assays
Detection and quantification of biomarkers in tissue, serum and cell samples, including markers of oxidative stress and inflammation.
Nucleic acid extraction
DNA and RNA extraction from tissue, cells and blood, with quality control before downstream analysis.
Sending samples
Please contact us before sending any material so that we can confirm the samples, hazards, shipping arrangements and timing for your project. Remaining samples are returned on request or destroyed under our Data Retention Policy.
Our 5-Stage Scientific Methodology
Every project starts with a written scope and protocol and ends with documented results and revision rounds. Animal studies begin only after Institutional Animal Ethics Committee (IAEC) protocol review.
