Red Blood Cells

Red Blood Cells (RBCs) are increasingly recognized for their utility in medical research, contributing valuable insights into a wide range of health conditions and therapeutic strategies.

RBCs are used to study haematological disorders, such as anaemia and sickle cell disease, providing insights into the genetic, molecular, and environmental factors that influence RBC production, structure, and function. 

Additionally, RBCs serve as a model system for understanding basic biological processes, such as cell aging, membrane biology, and the body’s response to oxidative stress. 

Engineered RBCs are being explored as novel delivery systems for drugs, vaccines, and therapeutic agents. Their biocompatibility, long circulation life, and capacity to be loaded with therapeutic compounds make RBCs an exciting frontier in the development of targeted treatment strategies, showcasing their versatile role in advancing medical research and therapeutic innovations.

We produce red blood cells from whole blood by centrifugation with flexibility over the volume, donor characteristics and storage/shipping format.
