Product development

From molecular biology
to diagnostic insight.

The Protective Epigenetics test is under development and is not commercially available at this time.

The platform

A focused approach
to sperm microRNAs.

Our objective is a practical laboratory test that profiles selected sperm-borne regulatory molecules.

Development brings together the biological rationale, marker-panel design, sample preparation, laboratory performance and reporting. Donor-sperm screening is the lead application, with longer-term opportunities in fertility care and reproductive research.

Development priorities

Building a complete test.

Define the panel

Evaluate biologically relevant markers and a focused approach to measuring their abundance in sperm.

Establish performance

Develop sample-handling methods, assay controls and repeatable laboratory measurements.

Shape the application

Evaluate how molecular profiling can add information within reproductive assessment and translate that information into clear reporting.
