We partner with leading pharmaceutical and emerging biotech companies to provide researchers with an enhanced ability to recruit study participants and collect clinically relevant biospecimens and leukopaks through our mobile phlebotomy workforce and apheresis site network across the United States. Our direct-to-patient model removes barriers to participation and has already energized a homegrown community of more than 70,000 patient members to get involved with accelerating research for the conditions they battle with. By empowering patients to participate from the comfort of their homes or local sites, together with our more than 100 advocacy group partnerships and highly strategic online recruitment campaigns, we ensure that researchers who partner with us touch even the hardest-to-reach populations.
Our Fully Integrated Service Solutions include :

1. Leukopak Sample Collection

Through our direct-to-patient approach, we can identify healthy and diseased state donors and perform leukapheresis to provide enriched Research Use Only (RUO) apheresis products collected from the same donor, for a reliable and consistent source of up to 10 billion immune cells, including peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), rare CD34+ cells, for biomarker, immunology, autologous, and allogeneic cell therapy research and product development.

2. Patient-powered Mobile Biospecimen Collection

We procure human biospecimens prospectively and can satisfy challenging study designs and increasingly complex sample criteria. Our capabilities are minimally invasive and are further supported by in-home centrifugation and supplementary laboratory services such as PBMC and other cell type-specific isolations, HLA typing, and comprehensive clinical testing.

3. Patient Data

We can work with you on study design to get a comprehensive patient view. Our direct relationship with patients gives you the long-term access you need to complete longitudinal studies and procure biospecimens during key disease-associated pain events for a clinically useful view of biology. Our capabilities include real-world data collected in real-time from patient-reported outcome measures, electronic medical record information and history, custom patient surveys and questionnaires, and wearable technologies.

4. Employer Onsite Collection Programs

Onsite programs enable employees at all seniority levels to participate in your organization’s R&D as blood or other biospecimen donors, at your research facility or pffoce complex. We handle all pre-screening, informed consent, privacy, and other regulatory requirements. Our Onsite programs are gaining significant popularity, with 18 organizations and over 700 onsite employee participants to date.

5. Biorepository Services

With our 3,000 sq. ft biospecimen processing and storage laboratory located in San Diego, we can receive fresh whole blood samples for same-day and next-day PBMC isolation and storage. Client-specific SOPs can be validated, optimized, and used for all samples designated for that specific client. Every study has a designated Project Manager to communicate with both clinical sites and client teams. Our Sample manifests and storage reports can be requested by the client at any time. Our laboratory utilizes a cloud-based, HIPPA-certified LIMS system and can also adhere to client-specific chain-of-custody processes.
Our services include custom biospecimen processing, testing, analysis, sample storage, shipping, and logistics services.
