Non-Human Primate (NHP) Blood, Serum & Plasma Biobanking Service
Are you currently facing challenges in obtaining high-quality, standardized NHP samples for your research? Our Blood, Serum & Plasma collection and Bio-banking services help you accelerate drug discovery and streamline preclinical research through advanced sample acquisition, processing, and long-term cryopreservation. Our robust and ethically-sound processes ensure you receive the precise, well-characterized biological materials your project demands.
Introduction to Blood, Serum & Plasma Collection & Bio-banking
The use of non-human primates (NHP) is indispensable for biomedical research due to their close physiological, genetic, and immunological similarities to humans. Our services provide a systematic and ethical solution for the acquisition, processing, and long-term storage of NHP blood, serum, and plasma samples. This process, known as bio-banking, creates a high-quality, standardized resource that is invaluable for a wide range of studies.
What Are Our Services?
Creative Biolabs' services encompass the entire lifecycle of NHP sample management, from venipuncture to long-term storage and retrieval. This includes the systematic and ethical collection, meticulous processing, and robust bio-banking of blood, serum, and plasma. These banked samples are essential for:
- Infectious Disease Research: Analyzing antibody responses and viral loads.
- Pharmacology and Drug Development: Assessing drug safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics.
- Biomarker Discovery: Identifying and validating biomarkers for human diseases.
Why Choose Us?
Inconsistent sample quality, ethical concerns, and the logistical challenges of managing NHP samples can significantly delay research timelines. Creative Biolabs solves these pain points by offering:
- Standardized Quality: We adhere to rigorous Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), minimizing pre-analytical variability and ensuring the highest sample quality, a key factor in reproducibility.
- Ethical and Regulatory Compliance: Our practices are fully compliant with international guidelines, promoting humane treatment and aligning with the principles of the 3Rs (Replacement, Reduction, and Refinement).
- Accelerated Research: By providing a ready-to-use, well-characterized sample library, we help you reduce the need for new animal studies, significantly accelerating your research and development cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do you ensure the ethical treatment and welfare of the NHPs during blood collection?
A: Animal welfare is our highest priority. All our procedures are conducted by highly trained veterinarians. We use proper venipuncture techniques and monitor the animals to minimize stress and ensure their well-being.
Q: What is the difference between serum and plasma, and how do I choose?
A: Serum is derived from clotted blood and lacks clotting factors, making it ideal for serological studies like antibody detection. Plasma, derived from blood treated with anticoagulants, contains clotting factors and is essential for coagulation and proteomics research. Our team can help you select the right sample type based on your specific research goals.
Q: Can I request custom sample volumes or specific collection protocols for my project?
A: Yes, absolutely. We pride ourselves on our ability to offer highly customized solutions. Our team will work with you to understand your research protocol and tailor the collection, processing, and aliquoting to your exact specifications.
Q: How do you guarantee the quality and integrity of the samples over long-term storage?
A: We use state-of-the-art cryopreservation technologies, storing samples in ultra-low temperature freezers or liquid nitrogen tanks. We also perform regular quality control checks and maintain a detailed chain of custody for every sample, ensuring their viability and integrity for years to come.
