Wistar Rat Lipemic Plasma
Wistar Rat (Rattus norvegicus) blood sample collected under controlled conditions. Processed promptly for optimal quality. Contact us for specifications and availability.
Wistar Rat Lipemic Plasma Overview
Wistar Rat Lipemic Plasma is research-grade rat plasma 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.
Plasma preserves coagulation factors and circulating biomarkers, providing an optimal matrix for pharmacokinetic studies and protein-based assays.
Available strains include Sprague Dawley and Wistar.
Common applications
- Pharmacokinetic (PK) and toxicokinetic (TK) studies
- Biomarker discovery and validation
- Cytokine and chemokine profiling
- Coagulation and hemostasis research
- Metabolomics and lipidomics workflows
Collection, processing & handling
Plasma is processed with documented anticoagulant (K2EDTA, Li-heparin, or citrate) and centrifugation conditions. Single or double-spin processing available. Packaging and shipping are configured for frozen or refrigerated logistics as appropriate to your workflow.
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 serum or whole blood 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 Sprague Dawley and Wistar. We routinely support longitudinal programs, matched sample sets, and custom collection protocols.
Wistar Rat Overview
The Wistar is the original laboratory rat strain and progenitor of many modern lines. This outbred albino rat is a versatile, well-characterized model used broadly across physiology, pharmacology, and behavioral research.

| Species | Wistar Rat (Rattus norvegicus) |
|---|---|
| Sample Type | Plasma |
| Collection | Collected with anticoagulant |
| Anticoagulant Options | K2-EDTA, K3-EDTA, Sodium Heparin, Sodium Citrate, Lithium Heparin |
| Processing | Centrifuged within 30 minutes of collection |
| Storage | Frozen at -80C |
EDTA is standard for most applications. Citrate is required for coagulation studies. Heparin is preferred when EDTA interferes with your assay.
Yes, we offer hemolyzed and lipemic plasma for method validation and interference testing.
Standard protocol is 1500-2000g for 10-15 minutes at 4C. Custom protocols can be accommodated.
Yes, we can provide platelet-poor or platelet-free plasma upon request.
