IAS CONTRACT DATA ANALYSIS
We receive existing NGS, imaging, proteomics, spatial multi-omics, and related data, then use IAS for QC, analysis, visualization, and result organization. Scope and deliverables are agreed before work starts.
LifeAnalytics covers the analysis stage after data generation. Wet-lab, imaging, measurement, and other data-acquisition work are excluded; data must fit an IAS analysis workflow.

FIXED SPATIAL MULTI-OMICS PLAN
A full analysis plan integrating existing spatial-omics, microscopy, and NGS data from the same specimen. We normalize published standard-project prices and external specialist rates to an equivalent scope, and our regular fixed price remains more than 44% below that market reference.
PRICE POLICY
We normalized publicly listed analysis-only prices for equivalent scopes and set IAS starting prices at no more than 56% of those market references. Specimen handling, image acquisition, mass-spectrometry measurement, spatial-omics data generation, library preparation, and sequencing are excluded from both the price and service scope.
FASTQ QC, trimming, alignment or pseudoalignment, quantification, normalization, PCA, differential expression, GO and pathway analysis
