Process Overview
Tzar Labs UK Private Limited (Tzar Labs UK) and Tzar Genomics India Private Limited (Tzar Genomics) are wholly owned subsidiaries of 23IKIGAI Pte Ltd.
23IKIGAI Pte Ltd is the developer and owner of the HrC Genomics technology.
Samples for the HrC Genomics test are part-processed at the Tzar Labs UK laboratory in London and at the Tzar Genomics laboratory in Mumbai.
Tzar Genomics is an IQAS ISO15189:2022 Accredited Laboratory. Certificate Number: M-0008.
Tzar Labs UK operates a robust Quality Management System (QMS) that adheres to the standards of ISO15189:2022.
Tzar Labs UK is responsible for the extraction of RNA/DNA from blood samples for the purpose of whole exome and whole transcriptome sequencing using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology. Extracted RNA/DNA samples that meet with the Quality Control requirements for whole transcriptome sequencing library preparation, are shipped to Tzar Genomics for further processing.
Tzar Genomics is responsible for arranging the whole transcriptome sequencing of the RNA/DNA samples and for the spectroscopy data acquisition. Tzar Genomics use a third party, MiBiome Therapeutics LLP, an ISO 9001 & 15189 certified laboratory, solely for the purpose of whole transcriptome sequencing.
The data generated from the whole transcriptome sequencing and the spectroscopy is analysed by a team of specialist doctors and scientists at Tzar Genomics, as to create the HrC Genomics test reports.
Ongoing Research
We conduct ongoing research for developing new scientific tests and related products. All samples provided to us and all tests conducted by us upon those samples may be used, in whole or in part, for further research purposes, and may be deidentified. Consent for us to utilise identifiable samples and/or identifiable data from those samples, including for the research purposes described, may be withdrawn at any time by contacting DataProtectionOfficer@tzarlabs.com.
Once samples and/or data have become deidentified, consent cannot be withdrawn for use due to lack of identifiability. For more information, please contact DataProtectionOfficer@tzarlabs.com
