Buffy Coat Samples
The buffy coat, which is a concentrated source of leukocytes (white blood cells) and thrombocytes (platelets), is a unique and valuable biospecimen that holds immense potential for advancing biomedical research. Especially, it has been treated as a treasure trove of critical information for researchers investigating a wide range of disease states. Protheragen is committed to providing high-quality, ethical buffy coat samples to help global pharmaceutical companies accelerate the development of autoimmune disease drugs and therapies.
