Human Serum

Off-the-clot human serum is derived from whole blood donations collected at one of our licensed and accredited donor centers using IRB protocols. All the donors undergo a thorough medical and social history questionnaire and give their consent for their blood to be used for research and/or manufacturing purposes. Our serum and plasma is collected in a manner that emulates what you receive from your clinical sites.

Since our inception in 1996, we have been an industry leader in offering to customize every collection to exactly meet your study’s requirements. Provide your specifications to our centers and our staff will tailor the screening process and subsequent collection to meet or exceed your requirements. Please refer to our section of SERUM AND PLASMA SERVICES* for an overview of our customization capabilities.

Our serum can be ordered fresh or frozen. Certain ABO blood types (A, B, O, and AB) can also be selected. We can also ship the same day of collection to your facility. Each product will be accompanied by a customizable Product Data Sheet that reflects all the relevant demographic and viral information.
