"From the very beginning, working with the friendly and highly competent team at Sciomics was both professional and refreshingly straightforward. We particularly valued their openness to our specific research questions and the expert support they provided in planning and interpreting our exploratory cytokine analysis in a preclinical lung injury model. Communication was always on equal footing, enriched by Sciomics’ deep expertise, which also sparked new ideas for future projects."

"We collaborated with Sciomics GmbH in Germany to analyze proteomics data from blood samples of kidney transplant recipients and liver perfusates during normothermic machine perfusion. Throughout the process, Sciomics provided exceptional support, ensuring timely data delivery and valuable assistance with data analysis. Their expertise and commitment have been instrumental in advancing our research, and we are currently using their data in multiple manuscript submissions. I highly recommend Sciomics for their reliable service and expertise in proteomics."
