Epistem provides a suite of analytical services which can be utilised as an integrated component of an in-house study package or as a stand-alone service.

Epistem provides global (microarray) and focused (qPCR) GCLP accredited mRNA and miRNA gene expression profiling services. Expression profiles can be generated from pg-μg levels of RNA permitting analysis of small starting materials

Epistem’s proprietary amplification technique, RNA-Amp™, allows robust gene expression information to be derived from as little as a single cell input.

Epistem RNA-Amp™ amplification kits are extremely sensitive and user friendly. Our kits use a proprietary combination of components to amplify cDNA prepared from small amounts of tissue and RNA.

Epistem provides laboratory GCLP (microarray and qPCR) and point of care (Genedrive®) ISO 13485 accredited DNA genotyping services.

Epistem has world recognised intestinal and oral mucositis expertise, providing industry standard models predictive of clinical outcome.

Epistem provides specialist epithelial tissue and stem cell analysis to investigate the aetiology, mechanism and prevention of epithelial toxicity.

Epistem provides a tailored histology and immunohistochemistry service to assist with the validation of novel therapeutic targets, either as part of an integrated package or as a stand-alone service. The service is delivered by experienced histologists

Epistem’s inflammation experts provide a range of specialised preclinical models to support target validation and drug development for inflammatory diseases.

High quality preclinical data from a range of in vivo IBD models and target validation studies to aid the development of new anti-inflammatory therapies.
