Acellular matrix.
About Parkinson’s Disease Plasma
Parkinson’s Disease Plasma for Neurodegeneration Biomarker Research
Parkinson’s Disease Plasma is collected from IRB-consented donors clinically diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and processed within one day of collection to preserve labile analytes such as neuronal proteins, cytokines, lipids, and metabolites. Cryopreserved and available in custom aliquots, with standardized pre-analytical handling. Research Use Only (RUO).
Neurodegeneration and Why Plasma
- Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder defined by loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra and by Lewy pathology composed of aggregated alpha-synuclein.
- Alpha-synuclein aggregation is the central molecular event and the target of multiple therapeutic programs, so quantifying and characterizing circulating alpha-synuclein species is an active area of blood-based biomarker research.
- Blood alpha-synuclein measurement requires careful pre-analytical control because erythrocytes contain abundant alpha-synuclein and hemolysis confounds results. Our standardized processing is designed to support this kind of work.
- Neurofilament light chain is an established plasma marker of neuroaxonal injury and is widely used in parkinsonian research, including in studies distinguishing Parkinson’s disease from atypical parkinsonian syndromes.
- Genetic risk is dominated by variants in GBA1 and LRRK2; these define enrichment cohorts for targeted therapeutics and are accompanied by measurable changes in relevant lipid and metabolic analytes.
- Plasma is acellular. This product is for soluble protein, extracellular vesicle, lipidomic, and metabolomic analysis, and does not support flow cytometry, immunophenotyping, or any other cell-based assay.

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.
