Sprague Dawley Rat Kidney (Medulla)
High-quality Sprague Dawley Rat Kidney (Medulla) available fresh, frozen, or fixed. Suitable for nephrotoxicity studies, renal disease modeling, and urological research.
Sprague Dawley Rat Overview
The Sprague Dawley is an outbred albino rat and the most widely used rat strain in pharmacology, toxicology, and safety testing. Its calm temperament, rapid growth, and extensive historical control data make it a regulatory mainstay.
Quick Facts
Sprague Dawley Rat Kidney (Medulla) is research-grade rat tissue 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.
Kidney tissue is critical for nephrotoxicity studies, renal disease modeling, and investigations of drug clearance mechanisms.
Available strains include Sprague Dawley and Wistar.
Common applications
- Nephrotoxicity screening
- Chronic kidney disease research
- Renal fibrosis modeling
- Drug transporter studies
- Glomerular and tubular function
Collection, processing & handling
Tissue is collected and processed with protocols designed to preserve downstream histology and molecular workflows. Available formats include fresh, frozen, OCT-embedded, or FFPE as appropriate. Cold-chain logistics with documented handling throughout.
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.
Ordering notes
For specific donor criteria, strain, volumes, or custom handling requirements, request a quote and include your study specifications. Available strains include Sprague Dawley and Wistar. We routinely support longitudinal programs, matched sample sets, and custom collection protocols.
Nephrotoxicity Assessment
Evaluate drug-induced kidney injury using histopathological and biomarker analysis.
Chronic Kidney Disease Research
Study fibrosis, inflammation, and progressive renal dysfunction.
Renal Drug Transport
Investigate tubular transporters and drug handling mechanisms.
Bladder Function Studies
Analyze detrusor muscle physiology and urothelial biology.
