Lung Cancer Plasma
About:Lung Cancer Plasma - Cryopreserved human plasma from clinically confirmed lung cancer donors. Ideal for circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA), extracellular vesicle, and protein biomarker research, plus soluble checkpoint and cytokine profiling. Stratified by histology, stage, driver mutation, and treatment line.
About Lung Cancer Plasma
Lung Cancer Plasma for Liquid Biopsy and Tumour Immunology Research
Lung Cancer Plasma is collected from IRB-consented donors clinically diagnosed with lung cancer and processed within one day of collection to preserve circulating tumour DNA, extracellular vesicles, cytokines, proteins, and metabolites. Lung cancer is a neoplastic disease driven by somatic driver mutations and copy-number changes, with tumour-immune interactions in the microenvironment shaping progression and treatment response. Plasma is acellular and is the standard matrix for liquid biopsy and soluble-analyte work.
Tumour Biology and Why Plasma
- Circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) released by apoptotic and necrotic tumour cells enables non-invasive detection of driver alterations, including EGFR, KRAS, ALK, ROS1, BRAF, and MET, as well as resistance mutations that emerge on targeted therapy.
- Plasma is the correct matrix for cell-free DNA: serum yields substantially more background genomic DNA from leukocyte lysis during clotting, diluting the tumour fraction.
- Tumour-derived extracellular vesicles and exosomes carry protein, RNA, and lipid cargo used for early-detection and monitoring research.
- Protein biomarkers including CEA, CYFRA 21-1, and neuron-specific enolase (NSE, particularly in small cell lung cancer) support marker validation studies.
- Tumour immunology: soluble PD-L1, soluble immune checkpoint molecules, and cytokine and chemokine profiles are used to study immune evasion and immune checkpoint inhibitor response.
- Cancer-associated inflammation and cachexia markers, including IL-6 and acute-phase proteins, are measurable in the same aliquot.

Where can I find your complete catalog?
You can find our full product catalog here.
How long can samples be stored?
Storage depends on sample type but often cryopreserved samples stored in liquid nitrogen can be stored for years.
What customization options are available?
Extensive customization is available. To discuss your project request a quote or email us at learnmore@sanguinebio.com.
Do you offer prospective collections?
Sanguine offers flexible prospective collection services tailored to fit your research. For more information and to request a quote, please see: our prospective biospecimen collection services page.
What is the turnaround time for custom collections?
Timelines depend on condition, sample type, and I/E criteria but we often start collection within 2 weeks of signed agreement.
Do you have samples in stock?
YES - we have in-stock inventory. You can also email us at learnmore@sanguinebio.com as we continually get new samples in our inventory.
What does unique donor mean?
Each sample from a different individual - Unique donor means each sample comes from a different person, ensuring biological diversity in your study.
Are samples collected under IRB-approved protocols?
YES - "IRB-approved collection protocols" and IRB approval documentation available upon request. Sanguine utilizes two internationally-recognized IRBs (Advarra and WCG IRB) for review and approval.
