Open the Biospecimen InventoryAccess to well-characterized, research-grade biological samples is a critical resource for translational immunology, vaccine development, biomarker discovery, and assay optimization programs. Alpha Genesis provides a range of NHP and rodent/murine bioproducts from ethically maintained colonies, collected under veterinary oversight, processed to defined quality standards, and coordinated for shipment to sponsor facilities.
Available bioproducts include whole blood, serum, plasma, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), and a range of tissues from both NHP and rodent (mouse and rat) donors. Fresh, frozen, or cryopreserved formats are available depending on sample type and sponsor requirements. Custom biospecimen collection protocols, including defined donor demographics, serial versus terminal collection, tissue type, processing method, and storage format, can be designed in collaboration with sponsor scientific teams.
Sample quality begins with how donor animals are cared for. Every bioproduct at Alpha Genesis is sourced from animals maintained under board-certified veterinary health management, with experienced animal-care teams and complete donor animal records, backed by a federally recognized animal-care program that includes AAALAC accreditation, USDA registration, OLAW Assurance, and IACUC oversight. Ethical sourcing and animal welfare are integral to every collection program, not only because they are expected, but because they are the foundation of sample quality and research reproducibility.
NHP and rodent/murine bioproducts and biospecimens from Alpha Genesis support a broad range of research and development programs.
Drug and biologics developers requiring NHP biological samples for biomarker validation, PK/PD assay development, immunogenicity testing, and translational safety assessments.
Biotech sponsors developing cell therapies, gene therapies, vaccines, and diagnostic platforms that require NHP biological matrices for preclinical assay development and validation.
Investigators conducting NIH-funded translational immunology, infectious disease, neuroscience, and vaccine research requiring defined NHP biospecimen sets with documented donor animal histories.
Federal and defense research agencies requiring ethically sourced NHP biological samples for biodefense countermeasure development, immune response research, and diagnostic assay programs.
Alpha Genesis provides a range of NHP and rodent/murine bioproducts in standard and custom formats. Available sample types, volumes, and formats are matched to species, donor cohort, and protocol.
Bioproducts and biospecimens are available from both NHP and rodent/murine (mouse and rat) donors maintained in Alpha Genesis colonies, matched to collection protocol and donor population.
The most widely used NHP in biomedical research, with well-characterized immune profiles and extensive historical reference data. Rhesus-derived samples are frequently used for vaccine immunogenicity, translational immunology, and PK/PD research.
Cynomolgus-derived bioproducts are relevant to pharmaceutical safety and biologic development programs requiring species-specific biological matrices, including samples for cytokine profiling, antibody assays, and safety biomarker analysis.
African green monkey specimens are available to research programs in infectious disease, biodefense, and respiratory disease research. Availability is discussed on a program-specific basis.
Murine bioproducts and biospecimens, including whole blood, serum, plasma, and tissues, are available from mouse and rat donors in standard or custom collection formats, supporting biomarker, immunology, and assay development programs that require rodent biological matrices.
Capuchin samples are available for specialized programs requiring this species. Availability is discussed on a per-request basis to match donor population and collection protocol.
Additional species and custom donor specifications can be accommodated through custom collection programs, designed in collaboration with sponsor scientific teams to match downstream research and assay requirements.
Bioproduct collection and processing at Alpha Genesis is performed by experienced technical and veterinary staff under defined SOPs and quality standards.
Bioproduct quality at Alpha Genesis starts with the veterinary care behind every donor animal. Board-certified laboratory-animal veterinarians and experienced animal-care teams plan and oversee every collection, with clinical monitoring before and after each event and humane, welfare-governed limits on collection frequency and volume for every donor cohort. Donor animal health records are maintained throughout the animal's life at the facility and are available to research clients upon request. This work operates under IACUC oversight within a federally recognized animal-care and compliance program, including AAALAC accreditation, USDA registration, and OLAW Assurance. Ethical sourcing is not a marketing claim, it is the procedural and institutional reality of every bioproduct that leaves our facility.
Animals maintained under exceptional welfare, veterinarian-managed, enrichment-supported, and backed by AAALAC accreditation have more stable physiological and immunological baselines. Compliance is expected; this quality of care translates directly into more consistent sample quality and reduced biological variability in downstream assays.
Decades of NHP and rodent colony management and immunological research support have developed institutional expertise in primate and murine immunobiology, sample processing, and assay-relevant collection techniques that inform every bioproduct program.
All collection procedures are supervised by veterinary staff, with animal welfare, collection volume, and clinical recovery assessed at each event. Veterinary documentation provides confidence in donor animal health status throughout the collection program.
Bioproduct programs at Alpha Genesis can be structured to match sponsor scientific requirements, defined donor demographics, custom processing methods, serial collection schedules, and specific sample formats, supporting reproducible, well-characterized sample sets.
Bioproduct inquiries are handled by staff with scientific understanding of NHP and murine immunobiology and assay development needs. Collection protocols are designed collaboratively to ensure samples meet downstream research and assay requirements.
Sponsors conducting preclinical studies at Alpha Genesis can access biospecimens from the same study animals, maintaining complete sample provenance, from in-life time points through terminal collection, within a single, uninterrupted study record.
Available bioproducts include whole blood, serum, plasma, PBMCs, and tissues from both NHP and rodent (mouse and rat) donors, along with CSF, BAL, and specialty sample types. Contact us to discuss your specific sample requirements.
