Biobank
The only CRO-led veterinary biobank combining clinical partnerships, in-house processing, and high-quality biological specimens — bridging real-world veterinary medicine and advanced research.
What is A Veterinary Biobank?
As a Veterinary Biobank we collect and preserve serum, plasma, fresh frozen tissues and Formalin-Fixed Paraffin Embedded (FFPE) tissues, swabs, feces and much more for the animal health research. Accelerate your veterinary drug development with Lab4Paws’s comprehensive biobank services. We provide high-quality biological samples from various animal species (mainly cat, dog, horse), supporting preclinical research and development for veterinary pharmaceutical companies.
Why choose Lab4Paws Veterinary Biobank?
Our biobank stands apart as the only resource operated by a Contract Research Organisation dedicated to veterinary preclinical studies. By combining ethical sample sourcing, advanced preservation, and verified clinical metadata, we ensure your research starts from quality you can trust.

Considerations When Establishing a Veterinary Biobank
Accurate labelling ensures every sample is traceable, compliant, and reliable — protecting both research outcomes and animal welfare.
Every sample is collected under strict ethical standards, safeguarding animal wellbeing and maintaining research integrity.
Biosafety comes first. We follow rigorous protocols to prevent cross-contamination, protect handlers, and meet all regulatory requirements.
Each step is quality-checked — from collection to storage — ensuring data accuracy, sample integrity, and scientific reliability.
Samples are preserved under optimal conditions to maintain molecular stability and research validity.
