Basel is not a casual place to talk about longevity science. It is home to Roche and Novartis, two of the world's largest life-sciences employers, and to the University of Basel's healthy-longevity research campus — real institutional weight behind a field that, elsewhere, is mostly marketing. Aeonix's Longevity Plus panel brings that same evidence-based rigor to a physician-reviewed blood panel available directly to Basel residents.
135+ biomarkers, results in 48 hours, no single invented "age score" — just the individual biological systems the longevity research field actually agrees matter.
Why longevity screening matters in Basel
Basel's pharma and biotech workforce is unusually well-informed about the biology of ageing — many read the primary research their own employers publish. That awareness creates a specific expectation: a screening product that reflects the current evidence, not a wellness-industry shortcut. A standard GP check-up in Switzerland tests 12–20 markers once every three years, which is not enough to track the slow-moving biological signals — vascular ageing, insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, hormonal decline — that most influence how many healthy years you actually get.
What Aeonix's Longevity Plus panel measures
The panel is built around the biomarker categories with the strongest published evidence base for healthy-ageing risk — deliberately the same underlying biology that academic "biological age" research draws on, without collapsing it into one number:
- Cardiovascular ageing: ApoB, Lp(a), full lipid panel, hsCRP, IL-6
- Metabolic function: fasting insulin, HOMA-IR, HbA1c, fasting glucose
- Hormonal balance: full thyroid axis (TSH, free T3, free T4, Anti-TPO), DHEA-S, cortisol, sex hormones
- Nutritional status: Vitamin D, Omega-3 Index, B12, folate, iron, ferritin, zinc, magnesium
- Cancer adjunct and organ markers: PSA (men), CA-125 (women), CEA, plus renal and hepatic function
How it works in Basel
Register online and select Longevity Plus. Longevity Plus and Elite clients can book a concierge home visit anywhere in Basel-Stadt or Basel-Landschaft, or attend a certified partner collection point for a routine blood draw — no GP referral required. A qualified physician reviews every result before it reaches your secure dashboard, typically within 48 hours, and year-on-year tracking lets you see whether a change in diet, training, or medication is actually moving the numbers.
Pricing for Basel residents
Longevity Plus is CHF 995/year on an annual subscription (135+ biomarkers). Aeonix Elite extends to 150+ biomarkers at CHF 1,295/year for the most exhaustive panel available. Prime Health (100+ biomarkers, CHF 595/year) and Vital Edge (125+ biomarkers, CHF 795/year) remain available for a narrower starting point.
Frequently asked questions
Is this an epigenetic "biological age" test? No. Aeonix does not run an epigenetic clock or output a single invented age score — the field isn't settled enough across labs for us to stand behind one number. Longevity Plus instead gives you physician-reviewed values for the biological systems that drive ageing-related risk, each one actionable on its own.
How does Longevity Plus relate to the research happening at the University of Basel? It doesn't use their proprietary methods, but it tests the same categories of biomarker — inflammation, metabolic health, cardiovascular particle count, hormonal decline — that underpin most credible longevity research today.
Do I need a doctor's referral? No. Aeonix operates as a direct-access private screening service.
Is it covered by my Krankenkasse? KVG basic insurance does not cover preventive longevity screening for healthy adults. Some supplementary (VVG) plans include a prevention budget — check your policy.
When do I get my results? Within 48 hours of your blood draw, delivered to your secure dashboard with physician commentary.
