From your first consultation to unlocking advanced treatment options, we guide you through every step of preserving and leveraging your tumor tissue.
Coordinating with you and your care team to ensure proper collection during your procedure.
Your tissue is preserved using specialized protocols that maintain its biological integrity.
Tissue remains in your control with full chain of custody documentation and easily accessed via the secure Kernis Portal.
Stored in several forms to enable next-generation tests and future treatment options.
We ensure and confirm tissue quality with incoming quality control. We vet, confirm and report tissue quality.
The Kernis Partner Network accelerates treatment and diagnostic options at the cutting edge of science.
We talk to you, learn about your condition, procedure details, and key care team members. This first consultation helps us understand how we can best support you.
We establish a master service agreement with clear scope, so you know exactly how we are going to work together.
We work with you and your care team to negotiate how much tissue will be available for custodial preservation in advance of your procedure.
We work with you to prioritize testing options given how much tumor tissue is available.
We build relationships with your care team to ensure seamless logistics during your procedure.
We provide onsite support and kit delivery to your facility, and confirm cold-storage collection. Kits are available for both blood and solid tumor samples, each containing a sterile collection container and prep instructions.
Kernis delivers the sample to our partner's biobanking facility, or to the appropriate Kernis partner.
Incoming QC confirms your sample contains viable live cells. Your tissue is then divided into three storage modalities for maximum future flexibility.
Your tissue remains fully under your control via a detailed chain of custody log. You will have access to a menu of options ranging from basic storage to fully leveraging our network through the Kernis Portal.
As your treatment landscape evolves, we help you allocate your tissue for future testing options and track how much sample is available.
