Single Donor Human Synovial Fluid

Single Donor Human Synovial Fluid is collected from rheumatoid arthritis patients. Samples are provided as non-pooled, single donor synovial fluid in 1ml aliquots.
Custom collections are available, so if you have any specific requests, please get in touch with our team! We are able to set up both prospective collections and pre-scheduled shipments that time out with your research project.
Synovial fluid, also referred to as synovia, reduces friction within synovial joints when they move. An ultrafiltrate from plasma, synovial fluid contains plasma proteins as well as proteins produced by joint tissue cells. Components of synovial fluid include hyaluronan and lubricin / PRG4. The main functions of synovial fluid include reducing friction, shock absorption, transporting nutrients and waste, and molecular sieving. Please note, the viscosity of synovial fluid can be decreased in rheumatoid arthritis patients.
