Gout Synovial Fluid
Gout Synovial Fluid – Synovial fluid collected from IRB-consented gout patients. Ideal for analyzing urate crystal-induced inflammation, immune response, and cytokine production.
Gout Synovial Fluid for Research
Gout Synovial Fluid samples are collected from clinically confirmed Gout donors. Gout is a crystal-induced inflammatory arthropathy driven by monosodium urate (MSU) crystal deposition in the joint, so these samples support research into urate crystal–induced inflammation, NLRP3 inflammasome activation, neutrophil recruitment, and the pathophysiology of acute gout flares and tophaceous disease.
