Biosample collection

Access and handle the right samples for your study.

No samples at hand?

Our ambition at ions.bio is to supply an end-to-end solution for you: from sample to insight!

If you are in need of samples, we have a network of CRO companies to provide them. We will gather all requirements for you and source the samples ourselves. We can organize any sample type for you and across various diseases, thanks to our extensive network of sample providers. We source, handle, and prepare the right biospecimens, and can provide curated clinical samples and liquid biopsies when your study needs them.

The best instrument in the world cannot rescue a compromised sample. Pre-analytical variation, how a specimen was collected, handled, and stored, routinely swamps the biological differences a study is trying to find.

Let's plan your study

Every study that is executed incorrectly consumes valuable sample material, and, more importantly, wastes time and manpower. In our fast-paced scientific environment, these resources cannot be recovered.
