Frequently asked questions
- How much operator time does a program require?
- Most clients integrate sampling into existing routines. We provide clear instructions and materials to keep things straightforward.
- Do I need in-house bioinformatics or specialized software?
- No. We handle lab work and analysis, and deliver results in accessible formats — dashboards, PDFs, and review calls.
- Can you work with my existing lab and consultants?
- Yes. We regularly collaborate with internal labs, external consultants, and OEMs as part of broader programs.
