Clinical & Pre-Clinical Trial Services

Arkana Laboratories is an experienced contract research organization (CRO) provider of diagnostic services for clinical trials investigating therapeutics targeting kidney and neuromuscular disease. We have served as the central anatomic pathology laboratory for numerous clinical trials focusing on kidney diseases (e.g. glomerulonephritis).

Our team works to foster an environment of collaboration in all trial stages (Phase I-IV) from protocol design to delivery of results. We understand the importance of providing timely results and will provide a rapid turnaround time for research and clinical trial diagnosis.

Arkana’s team will work to advance your pre-clinical research by designing and carrying out projects that seek to answer specific questions relevant to the pathophysiologic mechanism of the human kidney or neuromuscular disease.

Arkana’s Multiplex Imaging Center is a certified partner with Akoya Biosciences in their CRO Partnership Program, specializing in multiplex imaging of human tissues. We have an Akoya Polaris 9-color fluorescence and brightfield whole slide scanning microscope with InForm software for spectral unmixing, Halo AI image processing software, Halo Link access for remote collaborations, and specialized modules for niche image processing projects.
