Comprehensive biosourcing and Human BioSpecimen management services

We leverage gold-standard technologies to investigate target engagement; potency of lead compounds, and their mode of action; and to enable a smooth transition to the clinic. Patient tissues are handled in our biobanks.

Novalix’s core indications include oncology, immuno-inflammation, infectious diseases, fibrosis, kidney diseases, osteoarthritis, metabolic disorders, and NASH.

Biobank

Novalix can sponsor retrospective and prospective collections for client’s projects (human explants such as skin, blood, urine, etc). We are able to:

  • Source high value Human BioSpecimens (HBS) and associated data
  • Create collections of HBS by setting up researches involving human person (RIPH2, RIPH3)
  • Provide our research services on HBS (ex. histology/translational science)
  • Store Biospecimens in appropriate conditions (e.g. ambient temperature, -80°C and -196°C)
  • Track the end-to-end Biospecimen’s life cycle management complying with regulatory requirements

Biosourcing, the scope of responsibilities:

Human skin specification:

  • Human skin from surgical abdominoplasty or mammoplasty
  • Fresh skin: same day and overnight from surgery room to lab test

Human blood specification:

  • Human fresh blood from donors (<4 hours from vein to bench)
  • Inclusion / exclusion criteria; healthy donors, virology, others
