  Forensic crime labs use a variety of biological materials and techniques to analyze evidence and provide information crucial to criminal investigations. Some of the common biologicals used in forensic science include:   Human blood: Blood is a common biological fluid found at crime scenes. Blood products can be commonly useful for bloodstain pattern analysis. Forensic analysts can use blood to determine DNA profiles, blood type, and to identify potential suspects or victims. Innovative Research provides both Human Whole Blood and Blood Cell products, collected from donors in FDA-licensed collection centers located in the United States. Our wide network of...

In the quest to enhance patient care in critical conditions, the discovery of predictive biomarkers stands out as a beacon of hope. A recent study published in Respiratory Research by Jones et al., titled "Plasma matrix metalloproteinase-3 predicts mortality in acute respiratory distress syndrome: a biomarker analysis of a randomized controlled trial," presents groundbreaking findings that could revolutionize the management of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). The Significance of MMP-3 Matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) has emerged from this study as a crucial biomarker capable of predicting mortality among ARDS patients. The research meticulously analyzed plasma levels of MMP-3, uncovering its significant...

The realm of space exploration continually seeks innovations that can enhance the safety and efficacy of missions. A pivotal aspect of this quest is the development of technologies capable of operating in microgravity environments, such as the International Space Station (ISS). A recent study published in the journal "Micromachines", conducted by researchers from AI Biosciences Inc. and IRPI LLC, has made significant strides in this direction by developing a microgravity-compatible sample preparation device. Notably, this study incorporated products from Innovative Research, a leader in high-quality biological specimens and reagents based in Novi, MI.   The study introduces the Versatile Sample...

Pooled Human Plasma (Blood Derived) from Innovative Research was used in the following study:   A New Promising Anti-Infective Agent Inhibits Biofilm Growth by Targeting Simultaneously a Conserved RNA Function That Controls Multiple Genes Thorsten M. Seyler, Christina Moore, Haein Kim, Sheetal Ramachandran and Paul F. Agris Antibiotics January 4, 2021 An immediate contemporary challenge in the field of medicine is that of combating drug-resistant infections in the form of biofilms. Due to the diverse population of bacteria that can cause infection and their constantly evolving defense mechanisms, there is a lot of focus on developing new treatments that are...
