Type 2 Diabetes Whole Blood
Powered by BiozAbout:Fresh whole blood from IRB-consented donors with confirmed type 2 diabetes. Suitable for HbA1c and glycaemic biomarker profiling, insulin resistance research, whole-blood transcriptomics, and genomic DNA extraction. Available stratified by glycaemic control, treatment regimen, and complication status, with matched healthy controls.
About Type 2 Diabetes Whole Blood
Type 2 Diabetes Whole Blood for Metabolic Disease Research
Type 2 Diabetes Whole Blood is collected from IRB-consented donors with a clinically confirmed type 2 diabetes diagnosis and shipped same-day so that cells, nucleic acids and plasma analytes are all recovered from a single intact specimen.
Type 2 Diabetes Metabolic Biology and Why Whole Blood
Type 2 diabetes is a metabolic disorder driven by peripheral insulin resistance together with progressive beta-cell secretory failure, resulting in chronic hyperglycaemia. It is not an autoimmune disease; islet autoantibodies are a feature of type 1 diabetes, not type 2.
- Insulin resistance in muscle, liver and adipose tissue is the core defect, compounded over time by declining beta-cell compensation
- Chronic low-grade metabolic inflammation, sometimes described as metaflammation, links adiposity to insulin resistance and is reflected in circulating cytokines and adipokines
- Sustained hyperglycaemia drives non-enzymatic glycation of haemoglobin, making HbA1c a red-cell-dependent measurement that requires intact whole blood
- Whole blood is the correct matrix for HbA1c, point-of-care glucose systems, and any assay that depends on erythrocytes being present
- Whole blood also supports PAXgene-style transcriptomics and DNA extraction for polygenic risk and pharmacogenomic work, alongside plasma-analyte measurement from the same draw
- Microvascular and macrovascular complications are the main clinical burden, and complication-stratified donors let you study progression rather than diagnosis alone

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.
