Services & Fees
Main Services
ORION core offers a variety of services including:
- Clinical trial immune monitoring
- Consultation for technical assay and study design*
- Guidance on language and funding for grant applications
- Data analysis
- Custom panel design for flow assays: up to 18 colors
- Full assay and run instrument : FACS (Fortessa X-20), Luminex, MSD, ELISPOT
- Single assay and instrument use: Luminex 200, MSD QuickPlex SQ120, CTL ELISPOT analyzer
- Personal training on instrument use: CTL ELISPOT analyzer and MSD QuickPlex SQ120
*Consultation for Technical Assay Assistance: This consultation will allow the user to work out any technical issues with an assay prior to or following an experiment. If the user prefers to set up their own assay and only requires instrument use, it is recommended that this consultation be done prior to an experiment if possible to prevent any loss of valuable samples.
*Consultation for Study Design: In this consultation, the study timeline, sample number and type, as well as assays will be discussed. Any deadlines in terms of funding and/or manuscripts can also be discussed so the data is provided in a timely fashion. This is required prior to the initiation of any study to be monitored by the ORION core.
