BALB/c Mouse Serum
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 Serum is research-grade mouse 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.
Available strains include BALB/c, C57BL/6, and CD1.
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, 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.
