• Support project design and implementation by providing expertise in biobanking
• Guarantee quality biological resources from their collection to their availability
• Ensure ethical-regulatory compliance and respect for the patient
• Contribute to clinical research and innovation through the development of biological resources.
• Participate in national networks to enable the sharing of biological resources and the harmonization of practices.

The CRB InnovaBIO participates in academic and industrial clinical trials on a national, European or international scale. It is also one of the many BRCs COVIREIVAC network and, among other things, prepares biological resources for the French Observatory for Multiple Sclerosis ( OFSEP ).

Although multi-thematic, the CRB is in direct contact with the Research axes of the CHU Caen Normandie, namely the heart/brain axis and infectious diseases.

Meso Scale Discovery Multiplex Assay ( MSD )

The InnovaBIO platform is located in the premises of the CRB . It offers a service for the assay of biomarkers (eg. Cytokines, markers in neurology and cardiology) in different biological matrices (plasma, serum, urine, cell culture supernatants) . To do this, it is equipped with a MESO QuickPlex SQ 120 multiplex reader ( Meso Scale Discovery ( MSD ) which, based on the principle of electrochemiluminescence, allows the measurement of up to 10 analytes simultaneously, achieving a sensitivity ranging from from pg/ml to fg/ml depending on the kits and panels used The technical staff is also skilled in performing conventional ELISA assays.

This platform is open to clinicians, researchers (academic or private sector) . The CRB draws up an estimate for any service request based on a reference price list.
