Blood donation for medical research use
Part of Blood & lymphatic clinical trials.
This study collects blood from healthy volunteers to be used in laboratory research. Your blood helps scientists study diseases and test new treatments in the lab.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Be at least 18 years old and weigh more than 110 pounds
- Be in generally good health with no heart, lung, kidney disease, or bleeding disorders
- Not be pregnant (if female)

This trial uses a special blood-removal procedure called apheresis to collect either plasma or white blood cells for laboratory research. It may help scientists understand infection or immune-related processes by providing specific blood components for study.
This trial helps the NCI-Frederick research labs by collecting and sharing samples from healthy, eligible donors. Your samples are used in “in vitro” studies, which means experiments done outside the body (in the lab).
This study collects blood and urine samples from adults to help researchers understand diseases affecting blood vessels. Your donation helps scientists develop better treatments.
This study collects white blood cells from healthy volunteers every 56 days to help researchers understand how aging affects the immune system. Your cells will be studied in a lab to learn more about natural aging processes.
This study collects common body samples to learn how different globin gene variants work and how they relate to health. Your samples may also be used later for new research, including genetic testing.
This research study collects blood, urine, and other samples from healthy volunteers to support medical research. Depending on the type of sample, you may donate blood, provide skin samples, or participate in other non-invasive procedures. Your samples help scientists understand health and develop new treatments.
