Sanguine Connections: Accelerating Research with Sanguine’s Community Access
Welcome to Sanguine Connections, exploring the process, challenges, and nuances of biospecimen procurement for translational studies.
Accelerating Research with Sanguine’s Community Access
In biomedical research, time and budget are often the biggest challenges. As studies evolve, the criteria for your samples may also change. Acquiring high-quality, custom biospecimens can be time-consuming and expensive. To solve this, Sanguine developed the Community Access program—a flexible, custom agreement designed to meet your organization’s biospecimen collection needs.
What is Sanguine’s Community Access?
The Community Access program simplifies and accelerates the biospecimen collection process through a pre-established custom agreement. Whether your research focuses on immunology, oncology, hematology, or other disease indications, this program streamlines direct access to the indications your organization studies from Sanguine’s expansive donor network of over 70,000 donors.
Key Benefits of Community Access
Reduced Startup Time
Traditional agreements often require lengthy negotiations and setups, delaying research. With Community Access, your organization’s custom agreement is already in place, allowing for faster project initiation and a dedicated project manager.
Lower Costs
Recurring fees for new biospecimen contracts can add up. Community Access eliminates redundant startup costs, offering a more affordable option for acquiring high-quality, tailored samples.
Direct-to-Donor Model
Sanguine’s direct-to-donor approach delivers fresh, high-quality biospecimens, collected to match your study’s specific needs. With access to a donor network covering more than 100 diagnosed conditions, Community Access ensures you get precisely the samples you need— the verified condition of interest that fits your I/E criteria. Further, expansive screening to find the right donor match, longitudinal studies, and recalling donors are all possible through your Community Access.
Customized Collections
Community Access offers flexible collection options, from specific sample types to the tubes used. It supports longitudinal studies for tracking biomarkers or disease progression, and allows for changes in study protocols and conditions without additional costs.
Community Access in Action
A global pharmaceutical company used their Community Access agreement to streamline multiple biospecimen collection projects across various indications. Over the course of a year, they saved both time and money by uniting multiple stakeholders under a single agreement:
9 donor communities across multiple projects
>300 collections and counting
>40% cost savings compared to initiating each study individually
~1 month time saved per study, thanks to pre-established contract
By cutting startup time and costs, Sanguine’s Community Access program empowers researchers to achieve their goals faster, and streamlines work and cost for procurement. Ready to streamline your biospecimen collection?
