BRIGHTcore is embedded within the molecular laboratories of the UZ Brussel (AMPLiUZ). AMPLiUZ consists of 4 units :  the Centre for Medical Genetics, Molecular Hematology, HLA lab and Microbiology.

​

ISO certification of the platform was a key objective, since both research as diagnostic partners require qualitative and traceable results. 

​

These first 3 tests that werev BELAC accredited were :

• BRCA testing​

• NIPT (Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing)​

• Exome Sequencing for Brugada Syndrome and LQT​

The scope of the tests offered continuously expanded from then on and our portfolio can be consulted under the "What we do" section.

​

Our laboratories comply with the most strict regulations and were designed to minimize the risk on sample contamination :

• Seperated activities (DNA/RNA extraction, pre amplification lab, post amplification lab, cell culture lab,...)

• Air locks at the entrance of every molecular lab

• UV sterilization facilities
