Auditing services available upon initial receipt in support of sample management and resolution of discrepancies, relabeling, and sample integrity.
Custom Kitting
Kits tailored to clients’ specifications
NexGen works with clients to develop custom, tailor-made specimen collection kits. This service allows for full lifecycle management to support and enhance research and clinical studies ensuring sample collection return, accessioning, processing, and long-term storage.
