Fluid & Tissue Collection
In-life and terminal collection of fluids and tissue samples for analysis.
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.
