Our facilities offer a large spectrum of sample analysis services for quality control and characterization, ranging from simple DNA quantification to sequencing and miRNA profiling. Specialized in the optimisation and validation of sample testing methods, we provide methods, samples and data fit for your needs.
Ensure your samples are fit-for-purpose
Don’t waste precious material. Verify the quality of your samples and make sure they are suitable for their intended downstream purpose. Our scientific team has extensive experience, not only in executing quality control assays, but also in developing in-house quality control tools for all types of biological samples.
Get reliable, validated assay protocols
As one of few European biobanks, IBBL is an ISO 9001 certified and ISO 17025 accredited organisation compliant with the principles of NF S96-900 certification*, meaning that our assays are not only standardized, but also go through a formal validation process. In addition, we ensure the validity of the results we provide to you by regularly assessing the quality of our analysis methods through proficiency testing.
Make use of advanced technologies
Besides more traditional assays, we have invested in a number of advanced technologies such as meta-genomic sequencing or miRNA profiling to offer our clients a comprehensive range of services. For efficiency and speed, our assays have been implemented on high throughput platforms, allowing you to save time and costs.
Get customized assays
Our team of scientists and a dedicated project manager will work with you to tailor characterization assays to your specific needs, from the development to the production and validation of the assays.
