From question to molecular workflow
Scientific support built around the research objective
Aurum supports research projects using established scientific methods, appropriate controls and project-specific workflows, with emphasis on data quality, reproducibility and scientific integrity.
Molecular projects are scoped around the target, sample type, required controls and intended interpretation. The agreed workflow may combine preparation, amplification, optimization, analysis and reporting.
Specific assays, primers, controls and acceptance considerations are reviewed during technical scoping; no single workflow is assumed to suit every project.
Molecular capability groups

Final methods and delivery arrangements depend on the research objective and project requirements. Capabilities requiring connected scientific routes are confirmed during scoping.
How projects move forward
A practical five-step workflow
The process begins with the molecular question and defines the method, controls and reporting expectations before work proceeds.
Initial enquiry
Share the target, sample context, research question and intended outcome.
Scientific scoping
Review preparation, amplification, controls and analytical requirements.
Workflow definition
Agree the project-specific method, inputs and reporting expectations.
Molecular work
Proceed using the agreed workflow and quality-focused approach.
Analysis & review
Review outputs, interpretation needs and any connected next steps.
