Volumes are available range from 1–200 mL. Whole blood comes shipped locally same-day, nationally overnight and contains limited donor demographic and medical data.

Volumes come in full increments of the vacutainer. Contact us for assistance in designing your custom collections. Late request fees and last minute cancelation fees apply.
