If you’ve ever dealt with traditional brokers, you know it can be slow, confusing, and full of extra steps. That’s why we built the AminoChain Specimen Center — to make things easier for everyone involved. → Researchers can search and find what they need faster → Biobanks

Biobanks hold millions of high-value biospecimens (tissue, blood, DNA) all collected, stored, and ready for use. But here’s the twist: most of that value is locked away. Because without visibility, interoperability, and standardized metadata, these samples stay on shelves while

For decades, animal models have been the default in biomedical research, but their limitations have become impossible to ignore. From mice to monkeys, these models often fail to replicate the complex biology of human diseases, leading to treatments that work in the lab but fall

Ask researchers who’ve tried to source biospecimens, and the responses sound painfully familiar: • “I just want to search everything in one place.” • “I need to know if the samples I’m seeing are actually available.” • “Why isn’t there more metadata on these samples?” •

What good are samples if no one can find them? Biobanks do the hard part - collecting, storing, maintaining millions of high-value biospecimens. But here’s the catch: most of them can’t be easily searched by the researchers who need them. This is equally true for

It’s a funny question. But also kind of a serious one. NFTs have on-chain metadata, provenance records, and public visibility - built in. Biospecimens? Not so much. Most samples collected for research disappear into opaque systems. Donors never hear what happens to them.

The traditional way to connect biobanks is to centralize everything; pull all the data into one massive system, reformated into one ontology, governed by one entity, with one set of rules. Sounds organized, right? Until it creates just another silo. We believe in a different
