Better research starts
with the sample.
Our flagship sample-handling device is part of the same scientific mission.
Simple Sample is being developed for passive conditioning of small-volume biological specimens in a closed-container system. It brings our method-development approach to the beginning of the research workflow.
Preparing for launch. Contact us to discuss your sample-handling requirements and receive availability updates.

Explore the service02 / A SCIENTIST AT THE TABLE
From the research question
to the reasoning
behind the result.
Good analysis starts with understanding the science.
David Graham brings experience as a principal investigator, research-center director, method developer, and scientific collaborator. That experience shapes how we frame questions, examine data, and interpret what an analysis can—and cannot—support.
Engagements can range from a focused assessment to sustained scientific guidance across a research program.
