Going back to the early 1980’s, SLR Research, and its predecessor, has over 40 years of experience in the autoimmune field. We are continually chosen by the most respectable laboratories, research facilities, regulatory agencies, hospitals, and manufacturers throughout the world for our technical understanding and biologic materials. There is a reason why.
Our mission has always been to benefit the only person that matters – the patient.
We are published research pioneers and experts in autoimmune disease – such as Franklin Kozin, MD, author of the college textbooks for rheumatology, and Carol Peebles, MS, MT(ASCP), the most published and referenced expert of IFA in the world.
A few of our renowned academic and clinical consultants and associates are Eng Tan, M.D., Marv Fritzler, M.D., Ph.D., Carlos Von Muhlen, M.D., Ed Chan, PH.D., Robert Fox, M.D. – the past President of the Sjogren’s Foundation, and before his passing, Robert Nakamura, M.D.
We have distinguished ourselves with progressive research and noteworthy studies with such agencies as the National Institute of Health (NIH).
We are a chosen supplier of material for the College of American Pathology (CAP), the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) for autoimmune disease Reference Standards, and NEQUAS for European proficiency panels.
We are the sole producer of the Association of Medical Laboratory Immunologists (AMLI) Consensus Reference Panel.
We are also the advisors and supplier to Quest Diagnostics for their autoimmune controls.
Pioneering research – innovative products.
SLR was specifically recruited as the primary consultants to Bio-Rad for the development of the revolutionary Bioplex 2000.
We have consulted with Becton-Dickinson for new flow cytometry applications, and performed the R&D for the first FDA approved confirmatory ImmuStrip ENA Test System with MarDx, now owned by Trinity. This means of testing is now utilized globally.
We have also been the beta site for various BioPharma companies.
As an academically oriented company we have in-depth understanding of the needs and requirements for development, research, trials, etc. It is this first-hand experience that allows SLR to supply the expertise and materials that are sought after world-wide.
Our FDA registered, HIPAA compliant and IRB approved facilities are located in Carlsbad, CA and our donation centers are located throughout the USA.
