Human Biospecimen Samples
Grifols collects biospecimens samples from healthy donors to be used in the research, development and testing of in vitro diagnostic (IVD) assays.
Human Biospecimen Samples Features
Source: Our samples are collected under an Institutional Review Board (IRB)-approved protocol at one of our 10 licensed blood centers located in the US (Memphis, Miami, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Jackson, Temple and Louisville). We can also provide samples collected at one of our more than 30 blood collection centers located in Germany.
Format: Tube.
Donors Criteria: Donors have consent for donating blood. All donors are screened to ensure that each of them is in good health condition and that products are not collected from a high-risk population for blood-borne infections.
Donor Data Provided: Age, gender, race and blood group.
Use: Research use.
Viral Testing: Donors from the US are tested for the standard FDA-required viral markers and found negative for HIV-1-NAT, HCV-NAT, HBV-NAT, WNV-NAT, anti-HIV ½, anti-HCV, HBsAg and syphilis using FDA-approved methods. Donors are also screened for Chagas and, when applicable, a licensed NAT for Babesia is performed.
Donors from Europe are tested for the standard European-required viral markers and found negative for HBsAg, anti-HBc, HIV-1/2-Ab, HCV-Ab, HIV-1-NAT, HCV-NAT, HBV-NAT, HAV-NAT, PVB19-NAT, HEV-NAT, WNV-NAT (tested from June to November) and syphilis.
