Sanbio, exclusive distributor of the Benelux!
Research Donors is an HTA licensed, ethically approved and ISO accredited collection facility, located on the east bank of London. The company was created to provide researchers with access to optimized human blood biospecimens for use in life science research. They recognized the urgent requirement for a European source of fresh, highly characterized blood products. Since 2018 they have worked with hundreds of leading biomedical research teams working in the field of drug discovery, cell therapy, diagnostics, and many more; providing them with a reliable source of biological samples. In 2022 they also became part of the Europa Biosite Group, which enabled greater reach across Europe and a rapidly growing client base outside of the UK. Since then, we have worked together to fill the gap in the biospecimen market that exists in the Benelux.
Their facility operates with a blood donation centre and onsite processing lab, for whole blood collection, fraction preparations and apheresis. They are located in a highly populated and diverse region in London, close to the UK’s leading bioscience research centres and with excellent transport links across Europe. To-date Research Donors has built a donor collective of almost 3,000 healthy volunteers, with a large and diverse community to meet all requirements of their clients. Donors can be selected based on age, sex, ethnic background, HLA type and many more; allowing for the collection of a wide range of sample formats. With their industry-grade procedures and documentation they gathered a customer base across all markets including CRO labs, Big Pharma, Biotech, Diagnostic and Academic users.
Sample documentation includes donor demographic information, pre-screening details, virology status and serology results (conducted are HIV I/II, Hepatitis B & C and Syphilis). Delivery options within the Benelux include ambient, fresh temperature-controlled or frozen dry ice shipments, next-day delivery.
The clinic has various accreditations and qualifications that demonstrate their commitment to professional standards and integrity. Their facility is licensed by the Human Tissue Authority and they own a Research Ethical Approval handed by the local NHS Health Research Authority in the UK. Finally, all collected samples are serology tested, fully consented and anonymised, but with traceable origin, for which they have an ISO accredited facility.
