Every biospecimen starts with a donor at our own clinic and is processed in the lab next door,
so whether you need a sample today or from stock next month, it meets the same standard.
Why researchers choose us
Quality and reliability
Every frozen vial meets its labelled cell count, even below 100% viability.
Flexibility and customisation
Choose your anticoagulant, donor attributes, and sample format – we build the collection around your study.
Speed and reproducibility
Next-day delivery across the UK and Europe, with the option to reorder the same donor for reproducible results.
Ethics and compliance
Every donor gives specific, informed consent, screened against strict eligibility criteria — HTA licensed, HRA approved, ISO 9001:2015 certified.
Partnership and support
A small network of local distributors means local pricing, local support, and a team who’ll help you choose the right sample.
Our biospecimens
Fresh and frozen human blood biospecimens, collected and processed to the same standard every time.
Trying frozen has never been simpler
Ready-to-ship, pre-collected biospecimens from our frozen stock inventory, or build a custom collection to your own donor and delivery criteria.
Either way, you’re working with the same donors, the same lab, and the same standard as our fresh collections.
Browse frozen stock. Reserve from our catalogue of ready-to-ship, pre-collected samples.
Build a custom collection. Specify your sample, donor, and delivery criteria, and we’ll source it for you.
