More and more research and development projects are multifaceted in nature. Their implementation requires knowledge from various fields and the use of a variety of techniques and experimental approaches, often requiring expensive, specialized equipment. In such cases, it is often more effective to outsource part of the project to specialists than to attempt to carry it out on one’s own. Many research and development projects assume in advance that part of the work will be subcontracted to entities specializing in a given field.
Introducing new technology into a laboratory is a considerable expense. It requires the purchase of expensive equipment, staff training, and the purchase of new reagents and materials, often in larger quantities than necessary. If such technology is to be used only for the purposes of a single specific project, the costs incurred are not economically justified. It is usually cheaper to commission a specific part of the project to someone who has the relevant know-how and technical facilities.
Anyone who has ever had to learn new techniques knows that the first experiments are usually not particularly successful, and the results obtained are subject to a high degree of uncertainty. Becoming proficient in the use of a new technique can be a time-consuming and costly process. Commissioning specialists to carry out an experiment increases the reliability of the results and improves the chances of completing the project within the planned timeframe.
First, we strive to thoroughly understand the client’s needs, determine the nature of the project, and define the questions to which they seek answers. Next, we review the literature in the field of the project and select the appropriate methodology and scope of experiments to answer the questions posed. Once the scope of work has been determined, we prepare a quote. After the quote has been approved, we move on to the project implementation phase. The planned research can be carried out as a whole or divided into several smaller stages. The implementation of the next stage may depend on the results obtained in the previous stage. We are flexible in this regard. At the end of the project, we prepare a detailed report containing the methodology used and the results obtained. Throughout the project, we strive to maintain contact with the client and keep them informed about the progress of the work, any problems encountered, and proposals for their solution.
The members of our small team have extensive knowledge and many years of experience in developing and performing experiments using molecular biology techniques related to nucleic acids. We specialize in qPCR technology. In addition to our knowledge of its application, we have specialized, proprietary software that allows us to design high-quality qPCR reactions for various applications. We are characterized by great diligence and attention to detail in our work, which brings good outcomes in the form of reliable results and avoidance of artifacts that distort the conclusions drawn.
