iSpecimen Expands Proprietary Provider Network to Help Advance Infectious Disease Research
October 26 2023 - 7:30AM
iSpecimen Inc. (Nasdaq: ISPC) (“iSpecimen” or the “Company”), an
online global marketplace that connects scientists requiring
biospecimens for biomedical research with a network of healthcare
specimen providers, announced today that the Company has added
several new infectious disease specimen providers to its global
supply network.
These new collaborations will enable iSpecimen
to connect researchers with additional providers of essential human
tissue and biofluids required for infectious disease research, such
as types of Influenza viruses, common and severe respiratory
viruses, Lyme disease, sexually transmitted infections (STIs),
sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and other infectious diseases.
Researchers will have access to clinically collected samples,
banked tissues and custom collections of biospecimens, including
viral positives and health control swabs, saliva, serum and
plasma.
“The iSpecimen Marketplace®’s large network
provides access to high volumes of samples with associated data
that supports infectious disease research efforts as well as the
unique needs of diagnostic companies,” said Tracy Curley,
iSpecimen’s CEO. “Our global network, combined with our custom
project capabilities, provides researchers with diverse samples —
including those from hard-to-reach populations — to advance
diagnostic test and treatment development, ultimately leading to
improved patient outcomes.”
iSpecimen’s custom collection protocol matches
researchers’ exact sample requirements to an ideal collection site,
considering factors such as geographic location, target patient
populations and legal requirements. Additionally, the Company is
now able to facilitate custom collections for seasonal strains of
applicable viruses through the iSpecimen Marketplace®.
