Board Certified Pathologists: Our physicians are Board Certified and review each and every sample to verify the diagnosis and specifications required of each tissue sample. Within Avaden’s expansive clinical network, we also work directly with more than 250 Pathologists with expertise in surgical pathology, neuropathology, and hematopathology. Our Pathologists also have decades of experience in clinical validation studies and clinical trials.

Ethical Standards: Because ethical considerations are of paramount importance, Avaden engages exclusively in US-based clinical partnerships. Collection protocols are IRB-approved and subject to the highest standards of applicable laws and regulations. Avaden always encourages clients to use samples derived exclusively from US-based CAP and CLIA accredited laboratories which ensures that they meet the most stringent ethical requirements.

Pre-Analytics: Every sample derived from Avaden is sourced directly from a US-based CAP and CLIA accredited laboratory with standardized collection, processing, and storage conditions. This not only cofers an obvious molecular performance benefit which is well-established by our customers, but chain of custody is also established in that samples are transferred directly from the live surgical record to the client. Avaden’s process mirrors that of the intended use population of our pharmaceutical and diagnostic partners.
