About Us
Dono Vivo supplies scientific researchers with research tools including blood, plasma, and serum. We are primarily focused on collections from individuals who have been diagnosed with a disease or medical condition that is not adequately managed or cured using currently known treatments.
Blood collections are for future use in in vitro medical research by research scientists, pharmaceutical companies, biotech firms, and academic institutions in the service of furthering scientific discovery. “In vitro” means these research tools are used only in pre-clinical testing or testing done in a dish or tube.
