Bay Biosciences provides high quality, clinical grade fresh frozen human plasma and sera (serum) samples for research. Moreover, the plasma samples are derived from patients whole blood using customized sample processing protocols.

Moreover, the plasma samples are processed from unique untreated cancer patients. In addition the plasma samples are collected from patients diagnosed with Stage I, II, III & IV cancer and from age gender matched normal healthy donors for controls.

Human plasma samples are blood plasma collected from unique human donors for use in research and medicine. Specifically, they are prepared by adding anticoagulants to blood and centrifuging to separate cells from the liquid component.

Furthermore, these samples are used for biomarker discovery, diagnostics development, therapeutic monitoring, and treating conditions like hemophilia and autoimmune disorders. Additionally, plasma is a key component of the blood that contains proteins and antibodies.

What is Human Plasma?

Plasma is the liquid part of your blood. Specifically, this fluid makes up a little over half of your blood’s total volume. Furthermore, other blood cells — like red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets — mix in with the plasma, which carries them to every corner of your body. In fact, plasma is about 92% water.

Additionally, proteins (antibodies, coagulation factors, albumin, and fibrinogen) make up another 7% of it. Finally, the other 1% is hormones, vitamins, water, salt, enzymes, and other important compounds.

Plasma is the liquid component of blood that makes up about 55% of its volume. Moreover, it is a yellowish, transparent fluid that carries various essential components throughout the body.

Moreover, plasma is normally yellow in color because of bilirubin, carotenoids, hemoglobin, and transferrin. However, in abnormal cases, plasma can have different colors, such as varying shades of orange, green, or brown. Therefore, this may form due to medicines that are able to create sulfonamides once ingested.

Additionally, a dark brown or reddish color can appear due to hemolysis, in which methemoglobin is released from broken blood cells. Furthermore, plasma is normally relatively transparent; however, sometimes it can be opaque. In fact, opaqueness is typically due to an elevated content of lipids like cholesterol and triglycerides.

Function of Plasma

Plasma has several jobs that make it vital to your survival:

  • First, it carries red blood cells to your lungs so they can pick up oxygen and release carbon dioxide.
  • Additionally, it maintains blood pressure so blood vessels stay open, making circulation possible.
  • Furthermore, it delivers water, hormones, nutrients, electrolytes, and proteins to parts of your body that need them.
  • Moreover, it helps regulate your body temperature. In addition to these functions, it carries immune cells “on patrol” and delivers them to deal with threats like infections.
  • Furthermore, it carries proteins that your body uses for inflammation, to clot blood, and to repair damage.
  • Lastly, removing waste products helps your liver or kidneys so your body can get rid of them.

Uses of Plasma

Medical Treatments

Firstly, healthcare providers perform transfusions for patients with blood loss or clotting disorders. Additionally, researchers apply antibody therapies for infections and autoimmune diseases. Moreover, medical professionals provide plasma protein replacement for burns and other injuries.

Scientific Research

On another note, scientists study blood clotting and immune function. Furthermore, researchers develop new treatments for diseases.

Moreover, Human plasma researchers use collected plasma samples to understand blood composition, disease mechanisms, and, moreover, to develop treatments for conditions like autoimmune disorders and hemophilia.

Furthermore, key areas of their research include, for instance, proteomics to study plasma proteins (like in the Human Plasma Proteome Project). Additionally, plasma can be used for diagnostics, for example to detect disease markers and antibodies (e.g., to COVID-19).

Likewise, its is used to explore therapeutics such as convalescent plasma and plasma-derived protein therapies. In addition, researchers also investigate blood clotting factors and, consequently, use plasma samples to test new collection and processing techniques.

Biospecimens

biospecimens

Bay Biosciences is a global leader in providing researchers with high quality, clinical grade, fully characterized human tissue samples, bio-specimens, and human bio-fluid collections.

Moreover, human biospecimens are available including tumor tissue, serum, plasma and PBMC samples from most other therapeutic areas.

Furthermore, Bay Biosciences maintains and manages its own biorepository, the human tissue bank (biobank) consisting of thousands of diseased samples (specimens) and likewise normal healthy donors for controls. Additionally, available in all formats and types.

In fact, our biobank procures and stores fully consented, de-identified and institutional review boards (IRB) approved human tissue samples, human biofluids such as serum samples, plasma samples from various diseases and matched controls.

Also, all our human tissue collections, human biospecimens and human biofluids are provided with detailed, samples associated patient’s clinical data.

In fact, this critical patient’s clinical data includes information relating to their past and current disease, treatment history, lifestyle choices, biomarkers, and genetic information.

Additionally, researchers find the patient’s data associated with the human biospecimens extremely valuable and use it to help identify new effective treatments (drug discovery & development) in oncology, as well as in other therapeutic areas and diseases.

Bay Biosciences banks wide variety of human tissue samples and human biological samples, including fresh frozen human biospecimens cryogenically preserved at – 80°C.

For example fresh frozen tissue samples, tumor tissue samples, formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE), tissue slides, with matching human bio-fluids, whole blood and blood-derived products such as human serum, human plasma and human PBMCs.

Bay Biosciences is a global leader in collecting and providing human tissue samples according to the specified requirements and customized, tailor-made collection protocols.

Please contact us anytime to discuss your special research projects and customized human tissue sample requirements.

Types of Biospecimens

Bay Biosciences provides human tissue samples (human specimens) and human biofluids from diseased and normal healthy donors which includes:

Moreover, we can also procure most human biospecimens and human biofluids, special collections and requests for human samples that are difficult to find. All our human tissue samples and human biofluids are procured through IRB-approved clinical protocols and procedures.

In addition to the standard processing protocols, Bay Biosciences can also provide human biofluids such as  human plasma, human serum, and human PBMCs bio-fluid samples using custom processing protocols; you buy donor-specific collections in higher volumes and specified sample aliquots from us.

Bay Biosciences also provides human biospecimens from normal healthy donors; volunteers, for controls and clinical research, Contact us Now.
