Compliance Practices that Protect the Patient

We collect every sample under protocols approved by an Institutional Review Board or Independent Ethics Committee (IRB/IEC), and ensure that strict ethical guidelines are followed to protect patient confidentiality and safety.

Each sample has the patient's consent for use in a wide range of research including the development of commercial products and services. The samples are de-identified to ensure an unbiased assessment as well as patient confidentiality.
