Mouse Whole Blood
Fresh Mouse whole blood (Mus musculus) 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.
C57BL/6 Mouse Overview
C57BL/6 is the most widely used inbred mouse strain and the standard genetic background for the majority of transgenic and knockout models. Its Th1-biased immunity and deep characterization make it the default choice across nearly every research area.
Quick Facts
Mouse Whole Blood is research-grade mouse 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.
Available strains include BALB/c, C57BL/6, and CD1.
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, 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.
