1
Centrifugation capabilities & custom aliquoting
If your research requires a specific centrifugation procedure, iSpecimen works with our lab partners to help ensure your human blood products are spun at the correct speed, for the correct duration of time, and in your customized tube. Similarly, our partners can supply aliquots of various biofluids with precise volume measurements.

Creating slides & cutting curls
As part of our pathology lab services, we offer access to several specimen processing techniques such as cutting FFPE tissue section ‘curls’ for your study or supplying stained and unstained slides of various samples.

Quality control
Using our broad network of lab partners, we are able to perform quality control processes on specimens that we help source for researchers. These processes can determine information such as percentage of tumor cells in a sample or percentage of necrosis in a sample.
