Center for NeuroExcellence

    Complete Cerebrospinal Fluid Solutions

    BioIVT offers the most complete cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) solutions in the industry. With data-rich collections from clinical sites to longitudinal collections to remnants – we have access to the CSF that your research needs to move forward.

    BioIVT’s comprehensive portfolio enables neuroscience researchers to obtain samples quickly, with banked materials shipping in days instead of weeks or months. The company can also arrange prospective collections.

    All biospecimens are quality controlled, ethically procured under an institutional review board approved protocol, and delivered with detailed clinical data, such as donor diagnosis, demographics, family medical histories, treatment responses, and disease progression.

    Longitudinal CSF & Matching Blood, Plasma or Sera

    Cerebrospinal fluid plays a crucial role in pharmaceutical and biotech research due to its unique composition and its direct connection to the central nervous system (CNS).

    BioIVT's Center for NeuroExcellence focuses primarily on prospective longitudinal collections of cerebral spinal fluid with matching blood, plasma, or sera, and our sample collections include CSF from the following donor cohorts:
    Neurology CollectionsNeurology-Collections
    • TruNormal® Control CSF Samples
    • Alzheimer's Disease
    • Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)
    • Diabetic Neuropathy
    • Major Depressive Disorder
    • Mild Cognitive Impairment
    • Multiple Sclerosis
    • Multiple System Atrophy (MSA)
    • Parkinson's Disease
    • Rare Dementias
    • Schizophrenia

    Clinical Cerebrospinal Fluid Collections

    Look to BioIVT for expertise in the processes required for the ethical acquisition of biospecimens that cover a wide range of disease states and the protocols needed for the production of reliable data.

    The surge in research and development activities focused on personalized medicine coincides with the rapidly decreasing cost of human genome mapping and a greater understanding of disease heterogeneity. As a researcher, you struggle with high attrition rates based on a lack of clinical efficacy. It is crucial to your studies to utilize ethically collected, well-characterized human specimens and comprehensive tissue-based research services.
    Human CSF vials

    Working with local Neurologists and Anesthesiologists, we can recruit donors and collect CSF from individuals across a vast area of disease indications as well as normal donors. We are able to procure greater than 10mL from each donor.

    Our readily available CSF samples are provided with clinical data that has been collected following a strict and standardized clinical data process. All specimens are reviewed for IRB approval. Some donors are available with associated tissues.

    We can also offer prospective collections to provide the right specimen from the right cohort with the right data! Reach out today to discuss your specific needs with a BioIVT specialist.

    Remnant CSF Collections

    CSF samples are collected from patients who required testing for medical reasons. After diagnostic tests are performed, the remaining fluid is procured for research purposes. No patient identifying information is provided and the patient remains anonymous; we are unable to obtain any additional information regarding the patient than what is initially provided. Remnant samples are approximately 1-2 mL per donor. Pooled remnant samples are also available.
