ABOUT US
Helping Innovative Companies Introduce Laboratory Developed Tests (LDT’s) into the U.S. Market.
Setting up a new CLIA lab de novo can be time consuming and expensive as it involves facility leasing, hiring qualified laboratory management and personnel, and purchasing analyzers and other testing equipment.
CLIAx will eliminate most of these costs and delays by providing selected companies with access to a high-complexity CLIA Lab licensed by the state of Maryland and federal agencies.
