Althea Technologies provides a range of Short Fragment Assay (SFA) formats for the analysis of degraded samples which include Formalin Fixed Paraffin Embedded samples (FFPE). We have extensive experience in high-throughput sample analysis using our propriety XP™- PCR technology to monitor gene expression in highly degraded RNA samples.
Our testing facilities have been specifically designed for maximum regulatory compliance and include separate suites dedicated to sample receiving, RNA extraction, sample preparation, and gene expression analysis available under GLP conditions. Our in-depth technical and regulatory expertise, state-of-the-art equipment and technology, and strict compliance to regulatory guidelines allow Althea to provide the highest quality, validated analytical services with rapid turnaround.
