Map to Probetex

Probetex's mission is to provide high quality products to the renal field for Genomic and Proteomic assessment of research ideas on readily available samples of established disease; a decisive factor for those wishing to rapidly acquire preliminary data for grant applications or feasibility studies before proceeding to additional costly and bothersome animal experiments. In certain applications, the company's products can provide all the necessary samples for a complete study! 

An additional benefit of this commercial concept is that Probetex's products will provide a centralized source of tissue products from commonly investigated renal diseases that reduce overall repetitive experiments performed Nationwide, particularly for early non-interventional pilot studies. Probetex's products will provide tissue for feasibility studies prior to engaging in repetitive experiments, resulting in increased reproducibility and a reduction in animal usage. Products and contract services are available for those investigators that require more extensive investigations in renal disease
