Research & Academia
Research-grade testing protocols with end-to-end specimen logistics for clinical studies.
The Research Challenge
Research teams need a specialized lab partner that can handle custom panels, non-standard specimen types, and the rigorous chain-of-custody requirements of clinical research — without the overhead of building in-house lab capacity. Neelyx supports investigator-initiated studies, clinical trials, and population research with flexible protocols and dedicated project management.
Business Models We Enable
Cohort & Population Studies
Self-collection specimen kits for large-scale research cohorts — we handle kit design, fulfillment, return logistics, and lab analysis.
Custom Panel Development
We work with your research team to develop and validate custom testing panels tailored to your study's specific analytes and specimen types.
Clinical Trial Support
Specimen collection, processing, and analysis for clinical trials — with full chain-of-custody documentation and electronic data delivery.
Biobanking & Specimen Storage
Long-term specimen storage with retrieval services for longitudinal studies and future analysis.
The Neelyx team provided research-grade protocols, handled all logistics, and delivered results that met our IRB requirements without a single issue.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Neelyx support IRB-approved research protocols?
Yes, Neelyx has extensive experience supporting IRB-approved research studies. Our team works directly with principal investigators to ensure specimen collection, chain-of-custody, and results reporting all meet the specific requirements of your institutional review board and study protocol.
Can custom test panels be developed for research studies?
Absolutely. Our laboratory team collaborates with researchers to develop custom test panels tailored to specific study objectives. We can configure novel biomarker combinations, adjust reference ranges for research populations, and provide validated assays that meet your study's analytical requirements.
How is chain-of-custody maintained for research specimens?
Every specimen is tracked from kit shipment through collection, return shipping, lab receipt, and processing using tamper-evident seals and barcode-based tracking. Our software platform provides full chain-of-custody documentation that meets regulatory requirements for clinical research studies.
What data formats are available for research results?
Research results can be delivered in multiple formats including CSV, HL7, FHIR, and custom structured exports compatible with common research data management platforms like REDCap. We also provide API access for automated data ingestion into your research databases.
