Tumor profiling / Research & navigation
Valius Sciences
Deep tumor profiling across DNA, RNA and proteins, using existing fixed tissue.
- Sample
- Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) biopsy tissue. Fresh or frozen tissue is not required.[1]
- Typical work
- Whole-exome DNA, whole-transcriptome RNA, single-cell RNA and protein testing by immunohistochemistry, tailored to the case.[1]
- Timing
- The company lists 4–6 weeks for initial results. Confirmatory work may take longer.[1]
- Published starting price
- $35,000 direct pay. The company says discounts may be available for financial need.[1]
Before spending the money
- Send the team your existing reports through its requested secure channel. Ask what the proposed work adds.
- Have pathology confirm the available sample, its quality and how much would be consumed.
- Ask which findings could change a decision now, which are exploratory, and who will help interpret them.
- Get the scope, total price, expected deliverables and timeline in writing.
This is molecular profiling. Valius says it does not currently test drugs on live tumor cells and does not prescribe treatment.
