Fluid Collection
We typically collect blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) as part of our CNS rodent model studies. These fluids can be collected both in-life and at the terminal endpoint. Blood and CSF samples can be analyzed for drug concentrations or various biomarkers, such as neurofilament light (NfL), a marker of neurodegeneration.
We can provide collected samples back to our Sponsors for their in-house analysis.

Tissue Collection
Collection of brain, spinal cord, and skeletal muscle is a routine service in our CNS rodent model studies. Tissues can be snap frozen for drug concentration analysis, biochemistry, proteomics, etc.Tissues can also be fixed and frozen or fixed and paraffin-embedded for immunohistochemistry and/or immunofluorescences studies.
At Biospective, we have a state-of-the-art histopathology lab for tissue analysis.
