Improve Your Research With
Whole Blood Samples

We can collect whole blood samples to meet your research project needs. We can obtain samples from healthy or diseased donors according to your specific requirements. Whole blood samples can be provided fresh or frozen.

Whole blood samples are widely used in clinical diagnostics for many different diseases and conditions. As a result, life science researchers are constantly working on improving existing assays and developing new assays in order to improve patient care.

Example Whole Blood Sample Requests

Cutting edge life science research often requires very specific biospecimen collection criteria.

We have the expertise to help you formulate the exact specifications to match your needs.

With our network of providers, we have the resources to supply even the most difficult to find samples.
