Qualified Sample Types
Discovery is a leading provider of biospecimen procurement and distribution. We put millions of well-characterized, ethically collected biospecimens at your fingertips.
Whether we’re starting with samples from our inventory or your lab, our cell biology experts have optimized protocols for almost any sample type, including the following qualified sample types that we routinely process:
- Diseased or normal samples
- Tumors
- Serum
- Fresh tissue
- Whole blood
- Culture supernatant
- Frozen tissue
- Plasma
- Other biofluids
Discovery has a bank of processed biospecimen inventory including immune cell isolations and dissociated tumor cells prepared by our cell biology experts.
Expert Processing
Our cell biology experts routinely use a wide range of protocols to dissociate, isolate, sort and prepare samples for downstream applications.
Magnetic Isolations
Services are performed using standard, commercially available kits from StemCell and Miltenyi.
Cell Sorting - FACS
