Hepatology

Samples and collectives from the field of hepatology

The special field of gastroentrerology – hepatology – covers a wide range of different diseases: From infections of the liver to fatty liver and tumours (such as liver cancer, liver metastases and gallbladder cancer).
We therefore offer collectives from human serum and plasma samples as well as urine samples for research into diseases.

Why is research into sepsis important?

Fatty liver is the most common chronic liver disease in western industrialised countries and is considered a “disease of affluence”. Fatty liver is usually caused by an unhealthy lifestyle such as excessive alcohol consumption – the trigger of alcoholic fatty liver ASH and a high-fat diet, medication or as a side effect of illness. Both men and women are affected by fatty liver – although it is slightly more common in women than in men. About every second person with the disease is also diabetic and has elevated blood fat levels. Fatty liver is often a side effect of metabolic syndrome. At the beginning, fatty liver disease causes little discomfort, but it can nevertheless have massive consequences later on.

Our Portfolio includes the following Diagnoses

  • Alcoholic steatohepatitis (ASH)
  • Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)
  • Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)

Composition and documentation of hepatology samples

Our samples consist of native human bio-material without additives. All titres are based on current availability. In addition, we provide detailed information for each product, including: titer, volume, matrix, shelf life, test kit and test manufacturer. For single donors, we also add information such as age, gender of the donor and the measured laboratory result.
Furthermore, you have the possibility to send us individual enquiries regarding matrix, volume and diagnoses. Our Inquiry Form is available for this purpose.

Es sind zwei Innovationsassistentinnen über den europäischen Sozialfond für den Aufbau folgender Innovationen:

  • Die geplante betriebliche Innovation soll zum Aufbau des Teilbereichs in.vent Clinical Services (ICS) beitragen, um die Dienstleistung des Planens, Durchführens und Dokumentierens von diagnostischen Studien für die diagnostische Industrie, entsprechend der neuesten gesetzlichen Vorgaben anbieten und durchführen zu können.
  • Entwicklung und Implementierung von plattformunabhängigen Testsystemen, und Rohstoffen, spezifischer humaner Biomaterialien sowie Kontrollproben zur Verbesserung der Schilddrüsen-Diagnostik als IVD-Produktpalette.
Qualification measures:

Growing Organisation; Adaption of Qualification to new market demands, project areas and fields of production

To achieve the goal, that invent persist at the international market, qualification for current and new employees were conducted as follows:

  • training in online-marketing,
  • in contract law and
  • in business basics for executive leadership with scientific background.

New employees acquired competences in the fields of:

  • data protection,
  • medical devices advice,
  • internal auditing,
  • performance assessment of in-vitro diagnostics as well as
  • project management

In the field of production, knowledge of macro programming was gained for digitization.

The measures were funded through the European Social Fund and the state of Brandenburg for the period 2019 – 2021.
