Blood Products to Meet Your Needs
Prospective products from our biospecimen registry can be selected to fit certain criteria in order to meet your project needs. Our healthy donor bank database includes information like high-resolution HLA typing, CMV status, and other common donor selection demographics.
As a blood bank, our commitment first and foremost is to be good stewards of the precious gifts from our donors. To that end, we offer waste and other blood products that are not eligible for transfusion but are excellent, high-quality starting materials for research or manufacturing.
