Beagle Whole Blood
Fresh Beagle whole blood (Canis lupus familiaris) collected with your choice of anticoagulant. Processed and shipped within 4 hours of collection to ensure maximum sample integrity for hematology, PK studies, and biomarker research.
Beagle Overview
The beagle is the standard canine model for pharmaceutical safety and toxicology, prized for its uniform size, docile temperament, and well-established historical data. It is a required non-rodent species in many regulatory programs.
Quick Facts
Beagle Whole Blood is research-grade beagle dog whole blood 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.
Whole blood retains all cellular and plasma components, making it ideal for complete hematological profiling and immune cell studies requiring physiological context.
Common applications
- Complete blood count (CBC) and hematology panels
- Flow cytometry and immunophenotyping
- Immune cell isolation and functional assays
- Toxicology and safety pharmacology studies
- Drug absorption and distribution research
Collection, processing & handling
Whole blood is collected into validated anticoagulant tubes (EDTA, heparin, or citrate available) with documented handling conditions. Packaging and shipping are configured for temperature-controlled logistics to preserve cellular viability and plasma 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 or serum samples 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.
Biomarker Discovery
Analyze circulating proteins, metabolites, and other analytes for disease markers and therapeutic targets.
Immunoassay Development
Develop and validate ELISA, multiplex, and other immunoassay platforms for research and diagnostics.
Pharmacokinetic Studies
Measure drug concentrations and metabolites to understand absorption, distribution, and elimination.
Coagulation Studies
Evaluate effects on clotting factors, platelet function, and hemostasis pathways.
Whole Blood Cytokine Assays
Measure immune responses in a physiologically relevant matrix with all blood components present.
Blood Gas Analysis
Assess respiratory function and acid-base balance parameters.
