Dermatology & Cosmetics

From ex vivo explants to cell culture, OMICS4 runs the molecular evidence behind efficacy claims and mechanism-of-action studies, in-house and with our dermo-cosmetic partners.

Overview

Explants and skin microbiome, sequenced

OMICS4 runs the bench work behind dermo-cosmetic studies: ex vivo explants sequenced, skin microbiome profiled, low-biomass material handled without losing the signal. Primary data comes back quality-controlled, iteration after iteration, on the same protocol.

Platforms

Platforms that run a dermo-cosmetic study

Extraction & Quality Control

Protocols tuned for low-input material.

  • Extraction chosen by matrix
  • Concentration, purity and integrity measured on every sample
  • QC on extracts you supply, before anything goes onto a platform
Book this platform

NGS & Molecular Biology

Sequencing and targeted quantification on the same material.

  • RNA-seq across treated and untreated explants/cells, paired designs supported
  • 16S and shotgun profiling of the skin community
  • qPCR on a defined marker set, the same assay across every iteration
Book this platform

Extracellular Vesicles

Vesicle isolation and cargo profiling from culture supernatant.

  • Isolation method selected by matrix
  • Size distribution and particle count
  • RNA and protein content of isolated vesicles

Samples we accept

Ex vivo skin explants, biopsies, swabs, tape strips and culture supernatant. Low-biomass sampling is where a standard extraction loses the signal, so the protocol is chosen by matrix. Collection and storage protocols, and the RNA criteria that apply after extraction, are published per sample type.

What you receive

A QC report for every sample. Demultiplexed FASTQ with run-level QC metrics for the sequencing services. Result tables for PCR work. Turnaround published per service.

Where the bench stops

Alignment, quantification, integration and modelling are not part of a platform booking. They are run by GenXMap's R&D team, as the Claims Substantiation Package, a programme designed for your industry rather than a line on a quote. Ask for it in the quote request and both are scoped together.
