Zero-PHI Genomic Lab Network

The Lab Network Built on
Decentralized Data and
Zero Patient Exposure

You handle the science. We handle the data. PalindromeLab partners exclusively with CLIA-certified labs to sequence token-labeled samples — no patient names, no DOBs, no identifiers of any kind ever cross our network. Your workflow stays clean. Your compliance stays simple.

Traditional genomic partnerships create compliance nightmares. Ours don't.

Most data partnerships require BAAs, PHI handling procedures, and HIPAA audits. We eliminate all of that — by design, at the infrastructure level.

⚠ Traditional Model

Patient data moves with the sample

Labs receive requisition forms with patient names, DOBs, insurance info, and clinical notes. Every data touch point is a compliance liability.

  • PHI attached to every sample
  • BAA required with every partner
  • HIPAA audit exposure at each transfer
  • Breach = identity exposure at scale
  • Months of legal and compliance setup
✓ PalindromeLab Model

Only a token ID ever leaves your hands

Labs receive kits with a single 32-character cryptographic token. They sequence. They return variant data to the token. That's all we ever receive.

  • Zero patient identifiers on any sample
  • No BAA required — we receive no PHI
  • Your standard CLIA workflow, unchanged
  • Breach-proof: no names to expose
  • Live from day one — no legal delays

Four steps. Zero identifiers.

Your lab does exactly what it already does — except the sample arrives with a token instead of a patient name. That's the only change.

01

Kit Arrives

You receive a collection kit. The only identifier is a cryptographic token ID — a 32-char SHA-256 derived hash.

02

Standard Sequencing

Run your existing CLIA-certified workflow exactly as normal. Whole genome, targeted panel, exome — your call.

03

Return Token-Keyed Data

Upload variant data via our secure API. The only link is the token. No patient record, name, or DOB required.

{ token: "a3f8…", variants: [] }
04

We Receive Data. Nothing Else.

PalindromeLab receives only the genetic variant data paired to its token. The patient connection lives in a separate, independently-controlled system.

Clean partnership. Clean compliance.

We built the model specifically so that your lab never has to change how it operates — or who it talks to.

🔒

No BAA Required

A Business Associate Agreement requires you to handle PHI on our behalf. We receive zero PHI — therefore no BAA is needed. Period.

⚖️

No HIPAA Exposure

HIPAA governs protected health information. Token IDs are not PHI. The sequencing data we receive contains no information that identifies any individual.

🧪

Your Workflow Unchanged

Intake a token instead of a name. Everything else stays the same — your protocols, your quality systems, your accreditation. Nothing changes operationally.

💸

Net-30 Payment Terms

Predictable revenue. We pay per-sample within 30 days of result delivery. Volume tiers unlock higher per-sample rates automatically.

📊

Volume Flexibility

Pilot with 25 samples. Scale to thousands per month on the same agreement. No renegotiation required as volume grows.

🛡️

Breach-Proof by Design

Even a complete data breach on our end reveals zero patient identities. There is nothing to expose — because we never had it.

Decentralized by design. Not by policy.

We didn't add a privacy policy on top of an unsafe system. We built identity and genomic data into separate systems that cannot be joined without the patient's own token — a key only they hold.

The result: PalindromeLab is fundamentally incapable of linking a genetic profile back to a human being. Even if compelled, there is nothing to produce.

  • 🔑
    SHA-256 Cryptographic Token
    Tokens are one-way hashes derived client-side. PalindromeLab never performs the hash computation — we only ever see the output.
  • ↔️
    Separated Identity & Genomic Systems
    Patient identity exists in one system. Genomic data exists in another. The token is the only bridge — and only the patient holds it.
  • ⛓️
    No Reverse Lookup Possible
    There is no internal database that maps token → patient name. A court order, a subpoena, or a breach cannot produce a name we never stored.

The token is held by the patient. PalindromeLab cannot join it to an identity. Neither can a breach, a subpoena, or a court order — because the data does not exist in our systems.

What this means for your lab

"We receive a vial with a barcode. We sequence it. We upload the variants to a token. That's the entire engagement — no patient chart, no referral, no insurance form."
Lab Director, Southeast Genomics CLIA-Certified Sequencing Center
"Our legal team reviewed the model in 48 hours. No BAA, no PHI, no HIPAA exposure. We were processing samples the following week."
Compliance Officer, Regional Health Lab CAP-Accredited Clinical Laboratory
