TYPES OF BIOSPECIMENS

GenextEst and our key partner- NBS possess a rich collection of tissue samples and biofluids for only research purposes. These types of biospecimens allow scientists to investigate ways of disease progression. Due to the biological samples, specialists develop brand new approaches for diagnostics and treatment and evaluate the efficiency of these methods. All collected specimens completely meet medical R&D needs.

GenextEst provides the following biospecimens for only research purposes in the following formats:

TISSUE DERIVATIVES

Flash-frozen tissue (FF)
Formalin-fixed and paraffin embedded tissue (paraffin blocks, FFPE)
Unstained slides
Stained slides
