Sprague Dawley Rat Liver Microsomes Overview

Sprague Dawley Rat Liver Microsomes 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.

Liver tissue is essential for DMPK studies, hepatotoxicity assessment, and metabolic disease research with preserved tissue architecture.

Available strains include Sprague Dawley and Wistar.

Common applications

  • Drug metabolism and DMPK studies
  • Hepatotoxicity and liver injury
  • NAFLD/NASH research
  • Hepatic fibrosis modeling
  • Bile acid metabolism

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.

Also available: primary hepatocytes for functional metabolism studies 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 Sprague Dawley and Wistar. We routinely support longitudinal programs, matched sample sets, and custom collection protocols.

Sprague Dawley Rat Overview

Rattus norvegicus

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.
