High-Quality Human Whole Blood
Robust, well-characterized healthy donor material is the foundation of any successful cellular therapy. All Charles River blood donors are tested for HBV, HCV, HIV, HTLV, WNV, Trypanosoma cruzi, and Syphilis prior to collection. All donor selection, screening, testing, and qualification processes are monitored by our rigorous quality system, ensuring orders meet your specifications and Charles River’s high-quality standards.
Donated human whole blood contains all liquid and cellular components, cytokines, and growth factors present in the healthy circulating blood system. Whole blood is available as a 10 mL vial, 100mL unit, or 450 mL unit. Freshly collected human whole blood should be used immediately upon receipt. Unless otherwise specified, peripheral human whole blood is collected in a CPD collection bag and specimen samples are collected in EDTA tubes.
