Academics are at the cutting edge of scientific progress, but often have limited access to specialist technologies and many demands on their time that delay publication, weaken grant proposals and create barriers to translating their fundamental research into industry partnerships.

Academics must retain full transparency and control over their experiments, but can struggle to find the right external resources for their assays or the right technology or technological specialist to help them improve the running of their research lab and increase the impact of their research.

For academics without access to C. elegans:

• We accelerate your project by doing acute and chronic drug effect testing faster and cheaper than mouse models. C. elegans automated Healthspan whole-life experiments last weeks, not months. We stick to our lab schedules, respond quickly to your queries, and ensure your study is set up quickly.
• We increase your chance of success by generating high quality, consistent, well-structured data in a detailed report that is publishable and easily understood. Our scientists will help you decide which analyses are most relevant for your endpoint and get the most of your data.
• If you don’t have in-house capabilities to generate the precise models you need for your experiments, we can help you with custom transgenics models and assay design.

For academics already working with C. elegans:

• We can take your manual assays and turn them into automated assays in our lab with our specialist technology to improve data quality and quantity.
• Going one step beyond this,  we can help to improve your assays and you can then access our specialist Healthspan technology via our machine leasing services, so we support you to use our technology as best fits your research lab. Please contact us if you would like to learn more about this service.

We are always happy to design novel custom assays to fit your needs, so don't hesitate to ask.
