We Have Biological Products and Research Materials to Assist Forensic Investigations

  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...

Innovative Research’s Role in Developing a Zero-Gravity Versatile Sample Preparation Platform (VSPP)

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...

Reagent Filming for Universal Point-of-Care Diagnostics

Pooled Human Urine from Innovative Research was used in the following study:   Reagent Filming for Universal Point-of-Care Diagnostics Gyeo-Re Han, Hyungjun Jang, Hangil Ki, Hoyeon Lee, and Min-Gon Kim Small Methods 2021 Global medical centers, especially places like outdoor clinics and community health centers, benefit from simplified and decentralized point-of-care testing (POCT) due to their affordability, accessibility, and ease of operation. These factors allow for disease diagnosis in resource-limited settings or in uncontrolled environments, such as field clinics in catastrophe or poverty-affected regions. Simplifying assays, however, comes with its own set of challenges to overcome. For example, translating more...

Development of Diagnostic Immunoassays for Tularemia and Leptospirosis

Pooled Human Serum Off The Clot and Pooled Human Urine from Innovative Research were used in the following study:   Development of Diagnostic Immunoassays for Tularemia and Leptospirosis Emily E. Hannah, Dr. David P. AuCoin University of Nevada, Reno May, 2021 Bacteria strains Francisella tularensis and Leptospira are the causes for tularemia and leptospirosis infections, respectively. Tularemia refers to a range of symptoms caused by Francisella tularensis that can be dangerous, and potentially fatal. Tularemia also refers to a variety of symptoms that can range from mild to severe, and initially presents itself through symptoms like head and body pain...

Development of a Paper-Immobilized Yeast Biosensor for the Detection of Physiological Concentrations of Doxycycline in Technology-Limited Settings

Pooled Human Urine from Innovative Research was used in the following study:   Development of a Paper-Immobilized Yeast Biosensor for the Detection of Physiological Concentrations of Doxycycline in Technology-Limited Settings Rachel A. Miller, Galen Brown, Elsa Barron, Jamie L. Luther, Marya Lieberman, and Holly V. Goodson Analytical Methods April 7, 2020 Estimates suggest that at least 10% of all medical products sold in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are substandard and/or falsified. Because of this, there is a need for better analytical tools for detecting pharmaceuticals in settings with limited access to medical technology. The main need for such tools...
