History

About the Assay Lab

The Assay Lab was setup in 1995 in order to fulfill the needs of our own research projects, but quickly grew to accommodate the needs of our collaborators. Over the past 10 years, we have increased our throughput capacity and now are pleased to offer our resources and expertise to the scientific community.

Assay services

We have more than 15 years of experience providing assay services to a variety of users. We have carried out small and large scale projects (varying from 150 samples to over 5000 samples).
