Human Tissue Samples

The REPROCELL Bioserve global biorepository of human tissue samples provides leading academic and industry researchers with access to over 600,000 human DNA, serum and tissue samples linked to detailed clinical and demographic data from 120,000 consented and anonymized patients on four continents.

If we do not have what you're looking for in our biorepository, then through our biospecimen partner network of affiliated hospitals we can initiate a prospective sample collection specific to you.

Preclinical Genomic Services

REPROCELL Bioserve's genomic services complement our global biorepository of human tissue samples.

We offer our nucleic acid extractionRT-PCR (qPCR), Next Generation Sequencing (NGS), and biomarker services for any project, for helping researchers identify genetic markers, validate drug targets and correlate clinical and molecular data to accelerate the development of new and safer drugs.

We specialize in smaller to mid-size projects, providing intensive customer service from assay design to data delivery and discussion with you about your experiment results.

Oligonucleotide Synthesis

Bioserve India (India's largest oligosynthesis provider) is now offering its services globally, with a complete line of custom oligonucleotide synthesis and purification services based on customer requirements, including:

  • Long Mer oligos – up to 150 bases, single or double stranded.
  • Modified oligos besides standard modifications, fluorescent, non-fluorescent, and q-PCR probes are available.
  • NGS Grade oligos – manufactured by proprietary methods that are proven to reduce index cross-talk and increase the success of multiplex NGS experiments.
  • Universal Primer – complementary nucleotide sequences designed to bind to a wide variety of DNA templates for amplifying very similar genes found in species of the same genus.

Oligos are synthesised to a very high quality, at scales up to 10,000 nanomole, with a wide range of purification techniques to suit your requirements.

The History of Bioserve

The Bioserve brand of REPROCELL has it origin dating back to 1990. Bioserve was originally founded as an independent company with a business model to establish a commercial biorepository of human clinical samples to support basic research and drug discovery. Acquired by REPROCELL in 2014, Bioserve offices have since become the headquarters of REPROCELL USA, located in Beltsville, MD.

As one of the world’s largest commercial biorepositories of human specimens, under the Bioserve brand, the organization also offers a full suite of preclinical molecular services.
