Blood Products for Research
Serving biopharma, clinical and academic researchers, Versiti can provide a wide variety of blood products to advance your research in cellular and immune therapies.
Our expertise in blood collection, apheresis procedures, and donor management ensures availability and production of the highest-quality, most well-characterized human blood products for research.
Leukopaks
Leukopaks are sourced from individual donors under an IRB-approved protocol. Products are collected by leukapheresis where white blood cells are concentrated then shipped fresh or frozen to your facility. Leukopak products are available with additional testing and characterization to meet your specific cellular therapy or research needs.
Non-Transfusable Products for Research and Prospective Product Collections
As a blood center, Versiti is committed to stewardship of the precious gifts that our donors provide. We make available products that have expired or are found to be unsuitable for transfusion to help advance new frontiers in science and medicine.
