Frequently asked questions
Can RDi support large-scale or multi-site academic studies?
RDi routinely supports large-scale, multi-site research programmes where consistency across locations is critical.
We design and supply standardised diagnostic sampling kits, supported by fully trackable logistics and fulfilment, to ensure samples are collected and returned in a controlled, repeatable way.
Sampling can take place in clinical settings or via self-sampling in participants’ homes, enabling national or geographically distributed studies without introducing unnecessary variability.
How do you ensure consistent sampling across sites and cohorts?
Consistency is built in at every stage of the pathway.
Kits are standardised, barcoded and configured for the specific research protocol, with controlled handling, distribution and return. This reduces site-level variation and helps ensure samples are collected, transported and received in a consistent condition, regardless of location.
Are diagnostic kits batch-consistent with minimal lot-to-lot variation?
Yes. RDi’s diagnostic kits are designed and managed to support batch consistency, helping minimise lot-to-lot variation that could affect research outcomes.
This approach supports reproducibility across cohorts and timepoints, which is essential for academic and translational research where results must be reliable, comparable and defensible.
What documentation and instructions are provided to ensure consistent use?
Each kit includes clear, standardised instructions designed to minimise user variability during sample collection.
Where required, this can be supported with additional materials such as visual guides, how-to videos and multilingual instructions, tailored to the study design and participant population.
This helps ensure samples are collected correctly and consistently, even across large or decentralised studies.
How is chain of custody maintained from collection to lab?
Every kit is uniquely identified and digitally tracked across the pathway.
From registration and collection through transport and laboratory receipt, traceability is maintained to support audit requirements, governance and confidence in sample provenance.
This clear chain of custody strengthens trust in the data generated from each sample.
Does +CURA integrate with LIMS or research databases?
Yes. +CURA is designed to mould perfectly with your existing LIMS and research databases to support data-driven academic research across studies. Our app fully integrates with laboratory workflows to provide access to aggregated data, enabling you to make educated insights and informed decisions.
How does RDi help improve reproducibility in academic research?
By standardising sampling, maintaining traceability and reducing operational variability, RDi helps create the conditions needed for reproducible results.
When sampling is consistent, data integrity improves, and research teams can place greater confidence in the outputs of their studies.
