Indications of Interest and sample types

Disease Areas

The Sample Network works across all major disease indications, and has a global collection reach with sites in North America, South America, UK, Europe, Near East, South Asia and upcoming access in East and West Africa.      


To understand capabilities, most collections of 100 or so samples complete in 1 to 3 months, and smaller collections of 10 to 30 samples could be as little as 2 to 4 weeks. 


In addition, there are disease areas in which we have developed deeper focuses, these are as follows  (the lists are non exhaustive, so please do contact if there is an area of that support outside these is required):

Oncology

We have significant capabilities in oncology,  we can arrange additional testing, and can stratify by stage and cancer features (such as TNBC).   Currently if there was an open request across all cancer types, we could collect over a 1000 cases per month, and ramp up to 2000 per month if there was a sufficient long term project.
