Biotest Facility Services

”It is great that a professional provider will ensure the quality in these new and competence demanding analyses. Mogens has many years of experience from collaborations with the pharmaceutical industry under GLP-demands, and I am sure that this is a guarantee of competences and quality.”

“Current research deals intensively with analysis of blood and urine to identify novel biomarkers. One of the challenges is to develop sensitive and specific methods to identify disease-associated molecules in complex clinical samples. I am convinced that the new sensitive methods for measuring biomarker signatures will become an important tool in biomarker research."

“BioXpedia (ed. Note: integrated part of Biotest Facility) has been dedicated to help me achieve my research goals and move forward. The staff are friendly, competent, efficient and eager to make sure that all flows smoothly to obtain the best possible solution and results. I would strongly recommend to anybody wanting to have quality results, delivered with care and precision.”

”We are used to measuring 1-2 relations at a time, while this type of panels make it possible to broaden the analysis, so that we at one time fast and precisely may measure the content of several substances and proteins in a biopsy. If this screening method holds its promise, it is fantastic. It might turn out to be of huge importance to guiding us and giving an overview of the identification process to find disease markers.”

“Gene expression analysis of formalin fixed tissue is challenging. We collaborated with BioXpedia (ed. Note: integrated part of Biotest Facility) on analysing gene expression levels of known cancer genes in rare mucosal melanomas using NanoString technology. The BioXpedia staff was highly helpful and competent in this process, and they assisted in designing and performing the study optimally with their dedicated work. The handling of specimens was careful, and quality data was delivered without delay. Furthermore, BioXpedia helped with analysing the data, and this service was highly appreciated. I was very grateful for our collaboration and I would strongly recommend BioXpedia to all other working within the field of molecular biology in cancer .”

”Immunotherapy is currently a popular and effective method for treating lung cancer. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to follow the effect of the treatment, especially in the beginning, where the tumour progression cannot be monitored using x-ray as with traditional chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Thus, we are searching for valid and suitable clinical biomarkers, that will allow us to non-invasively monitor the effect of the treatment i.e. in blood and bronchial secretions. These new protein screening panels have an enormous potential, as targeted biomarker analysis will enable us to perform broad analyses of immune proteins and monitor how the treatment affects their up and down regulation.”

”During my Ph.D project my supervisor drew my attention to BioXpedia’s services (ed. Note: integrated part of Biotest Facility). Especially interesting for me was the biomarker screening using the Olink Proteomics platform, and I quickly realized it could benefit my research substantially by enabling a more comprehensive analysis of my samples. The panels available did not include assays for all the biomarkers I wanted to analyze, however, the BioXpedia team quickly found a solution allowing for a complete analysis of all biomarkers – and they thoroughly instructed me in the sample preparation process. I have experienced a very positive cooperation with a high degree of kindness, professionalism and flexibility, and I look forward to my future cooperation with the BioXpedia team.”
