Products
Disease-state human serum and plasma panels
Bulk and sample panels of human serum and plasma representing a broad set of infectious agents (examples include Zika, Dengue, SARS-CoV-2, Chikungunya, Yellow Fever, CMV, Rubella, Toxoplasma, Chagas, Hepatitis B, Marburg, Oropouche, HTLV, West Nile, Lyme, Malaria).
Frozen PBMC aliquots
Cryopreserved peripheral blood mononuclear cells frozen in 90% FBS + 10% DMSO in defined cell-count aliquots and stored in liquid nitrogen.
Matched multi-specimen Zika sample sets (including PCR-positive)
Sets including serum, plasma, urine, amniotic fluid and swabs, with PCR-positive and non-endemic area samples intended for cross-reactivity and EUA-required testing.
Human tissue research samples
Research-grade human tissue specimens including cartilage, muscle, bone and organ tissues for laboratory use.
Bulk serum and plasma (multiple anticoagulants)
Bulk human serum and plasma available in various anticoagulant types (K2/K3 EDTA, sodium citrate, lithium heparin) and bulk plasma formats for research or manufacturing use.
