Human Blood Plasma

Human blood plasma, the liquid component of blood that remains after the removal of blood cells, is useful in medical research, diagnostic test development, and validation. Rich in proteins, electrolytes, antibodies, and other solutes, plasma serves as a critical resource for understanding disease mechanisms, biomarker discovery, and the development of therapeutic interventions.

In medical research, plasma is extensively used to study the pathophysiology of diseases, including cardiovascular disorders, immune-related conditions, and infectious diseases. It provides a valuable matrix for identifying and quantifying biomarkers. 

In the development and validation of diagnostic tests, plasma is  used to establish the sensitivity and specificity of new assays, ensuring they can accurately detect or measure specific biomarkers or pathogens. Plasma samples from healthy controls are crucial for evaluating the performance of diagnostic tests, such as those for infectious diseases or biomarkers for cancer and cardiovascular diseases

We produce plasma from anticoagulated whole blood, offering flexibility over the anticoagulant, volume, donor characteristics and storage/shipping format.
