Human Whole Blood Samples

Fresh Whole Blood for Research

Human whole blood samples for research are collected from IRB-consented donors with clinically confirmed healthy or disease-state diagnoses. These fresh whole blood specimens support immunology, oncology, autoimmune disease, biomarker discovery, and other translational research applications. As a human whole blood supplier and vendor, Sanguine offers whole blood for sale in standard, custom, and bulk volumes with same-day collection.

What Is Whole Blood?

Whole blood is unprocessed human blood containing all of its cellular components – red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets (approximately 45% of total volume) suspended in plasma (approximately 55% of total volume). Because it retains every cell population and soluble factor, whole blood is the specimen closest to true physiological conditions, making it ideal for immune-response, biomarker, and drug mechanism-of-action studies.

Can You Buy Human Blood for Research?

Yes. Human whole blood is routinely supplied for research use under IRB-approved protocols with documented donor consent. What makes it legitimate is the framework around it: donors consent explicitly to research use, samples are de-identified under HIPAA, material is designated Research Use Only, and full chain-of-custody documentation accompanies each collection. Sanguine operates its own donor network, so collections are scheduled against your protocol rather than drawn from surplus clinical material.

Volumes, Tubes, and Shipping

• Volume — from single tubes up to large-volume draws; bulk collections available on request
• Anticoagulant — EDTA, sodium heparin, lithium heparin, ACD, or sodium citrate
• Tube types — standard vacutainer formats plus specialised tubes (PAXgene, Streck, CPT) on request
• Shipping temperature — ambient or refrigerated, temperature-controlled with real-time tracking
• Timing — same-day collection and shipment, since whole blood has a short usable window for functional work
