Our CRO process
Co-creation, construction and implementation of the project
We start by identifying your expectations, needs and constraints in order to carry out a feasibility study. We then work with you to define your research project and its key stages.
Other partners may be involved as appropriate.
We provide regular updates on results at each stage, and include you in the decision-making process so that the project constantly adapts to your changing needs.
Our infrastructures
Our laboratories are perfectly adapted to the requirements of molecular biology and quality standards. They are equipped with the most reliable technologies: sequencers, real-time PCR instruments, automated DNA extraction systems and more.
We have also developed a platform of analysis tools to expand our expertise in fields such as bacterial culture (biosafety level 2 laboratory) and ultrasensitive detection methods (surface plasmon resonance, fluorescence, luminescence, absorbance and electrochemical measurement).
Our loyal clients
ZenTech
ZenTech is a prominent player in the realm of neonatal screening who approached Progenus when they were looking to broaden their product range.
Our partnership was sealed when a new PCR testing kit was launched in 2020, with a second kit made available in 2021.
Pharma
We developed a rapid quality-control test based on multiplex PCR technology for this major healthcare company, who were looking for a solution to their lengthy and costly QC processes.
Wagralim
Progenus is coordinator for the FluoFast project with support from Wagralim's competitive cluster. The project aims to develop rapid testing for bacteria detection in the agri-food sector.
