Project Scoping & Experimental Planning Define objectives, deliverables and controls
We help clients translate scientific questions into executable workplans, selecting appropriate methods, controls and acceptance criteria aligned to the intended decision-making context (research, comparability, QC or regulatory-focused investigation).
- Clarification of project objectives and success criteria
- Study design and control strategy (including orthogonal confirmation where appropriate)
- Sample and material handling plans (stability, shipping and storage considerations)
- Selection of analytical and biological endpoints aligned to the programme
- Definition of deliverables, timelines and reporting format
Integrated Project Management One point of contact, coordinated delivery
Many glycoscience programmes require multiple disciplines, including structural analytics, bioassays, and specialist workflows. TKBio provides an integrated project management layer to coordinate delivery, consolidate outputs, and maintain alignment to objectives.
- Single point of contact and consolidated communication
- Workstream coordination across analytical chemistry, bioanalysis and bioscience
- Schedule management, risk identification and issue resolution
- Consolidated reporting and integrated interpretation
- Change control and scope management where required
Method Development, Optimisation & Transfer From concept to robust execution
We support method development and optimisation for carbohydrate and complex biomolecule programmes, with documentation and performance assessment tailored to the intended use-case.
- Development and optimisation of analytical and biochemical assays
- Selection of reference materials, standards and controls
- Robustness checks and performance characterisation (fit-for-purpose)
- Method transfer support and cross-platform comparability studies
- Support for documentation and reporting templates
Scientific Consulting Interpretation, strategy and decision support
We provide consulting support for glycoscience and carbohydrate-based programmes, including analytical strategy, interpretation, and evidence-based decision support.
- Analytical strategy for GAGs, heparin and complex carbohydrates
- Interpretation of multi-platform data (NMR, MS, SEC/GPC and biological readouts)
- Structure–function framing for R&D and comparability programmes
- Support for publications, grant programmes and collaborative research
- Advice on reference materials and assay selection
Technical Due Diligence Independent review for investment and partnering
For programmes involving carbohydrate-based materials, complex biologics, or glycoscience assets, we can provide structured technical due diligence to support investment, partnering and internal decision-making.
- Review of analytical packages, comparability strategies and claimed specifications
- Risk assessment relating to impurities, variability and method limitations
- Recommendations for orthogonal confirmation and targeted follow-up testing
- Clear written summaries suitable for non-specialist stakeholders
