Fixed scope. Fixed price. Fixed timeline. Iteration included. Novel IP in your analysis and identifications — using existing, characterized components.
The entry point. Prove mechanism-level insight on one focused question.
The workhorse. Comparison across conditions with specifications and implementation support.
The co-development entry point. Integrated design, bench validation, IP-protected terms.
Regardless of tier, every Auperon project delivers a complete cellular intelligence package built on Van Heron Labs' platform — with the same rigor, the same team, and the same mechanism-level output.
Higher tiers add depth, iteration support, and integrated specifications. But the foundation is consistent.
Auperon works from your RNA-seq FASTQs — if you have them, we're ready to go. Detailed prep guidelines are on the Science page.
Need sequencing help? That's a Van Heron Labs full-service engagement. Our team can coordinate the whole pipeline — sample prep, sequencing, characterization — under one contract. Auperon is the productized entry point; VHL full-service is the natural next step for teams who need the full stack.
What you take with you is real, defensible IP — the analysis, the biomarker and modulator identifications, and (at Tier 3) integrated formulations and process architectures designed for your biology. All using existing, characterized components in novel combinations. No new chemical entities to qualify, characterize, or clear. Real IP, cleaner CMC path.
Pick your tier. Send your data. Get your answers. Two weeks to eight, depending on scope — but always fixed.
