Donnor section

    Fidelis works with a vast network of sites and physicians to ensure that the patients donating samples match your exact inclusion and exclusion criteria:

  • Indication
  • Stage of disease
  • Treatment status / history
  • Viral status
  • Demographic characteristics (Age/Sex/Ethnicity)
  • Others

Processing of samples

    We can use standard procesisng protocols or consult, validate and implement custom options with you:

  • Tissue processing procedures
  • Cell isolation and processing
  • Multiple cell types from a single collection
  • Custom vialing and cell counts

Labeling, kitting and shipping

    Our team will prepare labeling, collection kits, shipping kits and options

  • Custom labeling using client-specific sequence IDs
  • Media and anticogulants
  • Media and anticogulants
  • Shipping containers and conditions

Sample managment and shipping

We will deliver directly from the sourcing site to your labs or keep the samples in our storage facilities until shipment. We offer multiple delivery options, incl. cryogenic, frozen, cooled and ambient temperature sensitive shipments. Fidelis works with all major carriers to offer the best shipping solution based on the sample types and requirements.

Delivery of fresh samples

We work with all main couriers to provide the fastest options for receipt of fresh samples in Europe, the US and globally.

Within Europe, delivery can be same-day (evening) or next-day delivery, ensuring the integrity and viability of various sample types.

Expedited delivery to the Untied Stages may take as little as 24 hours (with specialised services) and on average 48-96 hours.

Samples can be shipped at 2-8 C (chilled), as well as ambient temeprature (15-25 C) depending on project requirement.

Delivery ot frozen samples

Frozen samples can be shipped in batches on dry ice or in cryogenic shippers (on Liquid Nitrogen Vapor Phase). Fidelis uses couriers specialised in temperature controlled shipments to ensure dry ice or LN2 is topped up for as long as it may take for the shipments to reach any point in the world.
