What Our Clients Say

“The tissue bundles worked really well for our testing! I don’t think there is anything more that could have been done to prep them, it was exactly what we needed.”

“This lab was a big project and I had seamless transition with ABI. There were doubts with the tissues, as it was not a very easy project. Right from the beginning, you have helped us with selection of tissues for the right specialties, the surgeon feedback on tissues were great. The tissue packaging, as well as the logistics end was superbly executed. Thank you very much for your help and I surely will work with you in future.”
