The Baboon
Papio anubis
Baboons are large Old World primates valuable for cardiovascular, reproductive, and xenotransplantation research.
Their size and physiological similarity to humans make them particularly useful for surgical studies and organ transplant research.
Human Similarity
~93% genetic homology with extensive immune receptor cross-reactivity
Global Availability
Multiple geographic origins with established breeding colonies
Regulatory Accepted
FDA & EMA preferred species for biologics safety assessment

Common Research Applications
Baboon Serum is research-grade baboon serum intended for preclinical and translational research. Each order includes a Certificate of Analysis (COA) with lot-specific information and handling details to support consistency across studies.
Serum provides a protein-rich, cell-free matrix ideal for immunoassays, antibody detection, and clinical chemistry applications.
Common applications
- ELISA and multiplex immunoassay panels
- Clinical chemistry and metabolic profiling
- Antibody titer and serological testing
- Protein biomarker quantification
- PK/PD and dose-response studies
Collection, processing & handling
Serum is processed from clotted blood using consistent separation practices optimized for immunoassay and clinical chemistry applications. Packaging and shipping are configured for frozen logistics to preserve biomarker integrity.
Quality control & documentation
QC testing options available on request, including material-appropriate analytical checks and extended documentation. Standard documentation includes collection/processing metadata, lot identifiers, and chain-of-custody records. Custom QC panels can be configured for GLP or regulatory-facing studies.
Also available: matched plasma samples for comparative biomarker analysis from the same species for comprehensive study design.
Ordering notes
For specific donor criteria, source, volumes, or custom handling requirements, request a quote and include your study specifications. We routinely support longitudinal programs, matched sample sets, and custom collection protocols.
Clinical Chemistry Panels
Measure biochemical parameters including liver enzymes, kidney function markers, and metabolic indicators.
Immunoassay Development
Develop and validate ELISAs, Luminex assays, and other immunoassays in species-specific matrix.
Biomarker Validation
Validate circulating protein, metabolite, or nucleic acid biomarkers in relevant species.
Pharmacokinetic Analysis
Quantify drug and metabolite concentrations for PK modeling and dose optimization.
Antibody Titer Determination

Serum is obtained from clotted blood without anticoagulant, lacking clotting factors. Plasma is obtained from anticoagulated blood and contains clotting factors. Choose serum for most immunoassays and clinical chemistry; choose plasma for coagulation studies or when clotting factors are relevant.
Store at -20°C for short-term (weeks) or -80°C for long-term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles as this can degrade proteins and affect assay results. Aliquot into single-use volumes upon receipt.
Lipemic serum appears cloudy due to high lipid content, which can interfere with certain assays. Hemolyzed serum has red discoloration from lysed red blood cells. We offer both normal and intentionally lipemic/hemolyzed samples for matrix interference testing.
