BALB/c Mouse Plasma
BALB/c Mouse Overview
BALB/c is an albino inbred mouse strain prized for its Th2-skewed immune response and historical role in hybridoma and monoclonal antibody production. It is widely used in immunology, infectious disease, and cancer research.
Quick Facts
BALB/c Mouse Plasma is research-grade mouse plasma 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.
Plasma preserves coagulation factors and circulating biomarkers, providing an optimal matrix for pharmacokinetic studies and protein-based assays.
Available strains include BALB/c, C57BL/6, and CD1.
Common applications
- Pharmacokinetic (PK) and toxicokinetic (TK) studies
- Biomarker discovery and validation
- Cytokine and chemokine profiling
- Coagulation and hemostasis research
- Metabolomics and lipidomics workflows
Collection, processing & handling
Plasma is processed with documented anticoagulant (K2EDTA, Li-heparin, or citrate) and centrifugation conditions. Single or double-spin processing available. Packaging and shipping are configured for frozen or refrigerated logistics as appropriate to your workflow.
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 serum or whole blood samples from the same species for comprehensive study design.
Ordering notes
For specific donor criteria, strain, volumes, or custom handling requirements, request a quote and include your study specifications. Available strains include BALB/c, C57BL/6, and CD1. We routinely support longitudinal programs, matched sample sets, and custom collection protocols.
