WORKFLOW
BEVITAL has optimized its entire workflow—from project evaluation to sample handling and data analysis—over the past 20 years.
At BEVITAL, our team can assist you in selecting biomarkers and panels tailored to your study design, research questions, and budget. We’ll recommend the biomarkers that best align with your research objectives, ensuring high-quality, reliable data with minimal sample use—all at competitive pricing.
A pre-analysis evaluation typically includes:
- Your research questions and design of the project
- Appropriate biomarker and panel selection
- Sample type and volume requirements
- Anticipated timeline for analyses completion
- Commercial or collaborative contract
- Contact persons for your project
Evaluation of your project by email or video conference is highly recommended to deliver optimal data from your precious biobank samples.
Samples have to be shipped on dry ice by recommended courier and agreed time point to avoid loss or thawing of samples.
Samples are stored immediately at -80°C to guarantee highest pre-analytical biomarker stability.
Samples are split into aliquots for analyses on different analytical platforms.
Samples are analyzed and remaining material is stored at -80°C. Customer has to decide, if remaining material has to be destroyed or returned.
Mass spectra are processed by in-house developed QC software and results stored as FileMaker database.
External quality controls from DEKS, DEQAS, KEQAS, ERNDIM and LABQUALITY included in each set of samples are checked to monitor platform performance and to avoid assay errors and failures.
Detailed lab data report is generated giving an overview of the results, assay performance, and reasons behind missing data, if any.
Optional data analysis is offered from basic statistical analyses to more advanced approaches.
