Biofluids products are samples of bodily fluids collected from human subjects, which are used for various medical and scientific purposes. These products are crucial for studying disease pathology, identifying biomarkers, and developing personalized therapeutics. They can be derived from both healthy individuals and patients with specific conditions, providing a comprehensive view of both normal and disease states.
Through strategic partnerships with numerous collection sites, Protheragen provides a wide spectrum of biofluid products to cater to the varied demands of cancer therapy research, including patient-derived biospecimens and biospecimens from healthy donors. Ranging from whole blood and its derivatives to specialized samples like sputum and swabs, our extensive portfolio guarantees that researchers have access to the exact samples necessary to propel their pioneering research endeavors.
Biofluids Available at Protheragen
- Whole Blood and Buffy Coats
Protheragen offers whole blood and buffy coats from patients diagnosed with multiple cancers. These samples are collected following stringent protocols to ensure the integrity of the samples, which are crucial for genomic, proteomic, and cellular analyses.
- Cerebrospinal Fluid and Sputum
For specific types of cancers, such as those affecting the central nervous system or respiratory tract, Protheragen supplies cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and sputum samples. These are invaluable for studying disease mechanisms and developing targeted therapies.
- Urine and Saliva Samples
Urine and saliva are non-invasive sources of biomarkers and are particularly valuable for longitudinal studies. Protheragen provides these samples, which can be used to monitor disease progression and response to treatment over time.
