Biofluids for medical research

high quality biofluid specimens

Through the iSpecimen Marketplace, we match qualifying samples and associated data from our diverse network of hospitals, labs, biobanks, blood centers, and other clinical organizations to biomedical researchers’ specimen requests. We source biofluids, in addition to solid tissue and viable cells, offering clinical remnants, banked samples, and samples collected prospectively for research. Scientists gain easy access to the high-quality samples they need for their research.

Custom Study Design

biospecimen collection and custom Study Design

We work with iSpecimen Partner sites to collect, process, and ship biological specimens. Most biospecimens are shipped to iSpecimen and go through our QA process before being sent to researchers. We also offer additional processing services, such as DNA extraction.

When you require a custom collection of biofluid samples, iSpecimen Concierges are here to help. They can also help with study design, site selection, and compliance management, in addition to specimen collection, processing, and shipping.
