Questions & answers — Sell Data to Lab
ANSWER IN BRIEF
A useful lab enquiry identifies a technical question, a qualified recipient and a next decision. Those facts should guide the amount of preparation the company undertakes.
Start with the question you have
Use the sample guide for a review request, the inventory guide for a first introduction and the offer guide when commercial terms appear. Keep technical acceptance separate from purchasing approval throughout the process.
Questions & answers
Can a research team buy our data directly?
Confirm the actual purchasing authority and contracting organization. A technical contact may need other people to approve expenditure or terms.
Should we build a custom export before discussing terms?
First establish the review question and what preparation is necessary. Agree how substantial bespoke work would be scoped and handled.
Is a collaboration request the same as a sale?
No. Ask what each party contributes and receives, including rights, payments and continuing obligations.
Can we use one sample for several labs?
Only if its scope and handling fit each review. Track recipients and versions rather than assuming one approval covers every recipient.
Does DataVal guarantee a lab buyer?
No. DataVal connects companies with buyers and brokers; a particular opportunity depends on eligibility, recipient fit and agreed terms.
What if the lab cannot state an acceptance criterion?
Clarify what the review is intended to decide before expanding access or preparation. A vague evaluation request is not a complete delivery specification.
