Blood-Related Standards–Collaborate with USP
Building on the experience in setting standards for biologicals, USP continues to develop standards that are applicable to blood products. Additional standards for critical reagents are under consideration. Comments and queries should be addressed to bloodproducts@usp.org.
Our work with blood-related standards is guided by scientific experts from a variety of disciplines and industries in the BIO3 Complex Biologics Expert Committee and associated expert panels. Find out what the BIO3 expert committee is up to by reviewing its work plan:
A new expert panel, Coagulation Factors Expert Panel, will be formed soon. Check back here for information about the call for candidates for this new panel.
