What is a healthy volunteer study?

When a company makes a new laboratory machine to analyze blood, or when a new methodology is developed for doing a lab test on blood, those medical advancements need to be tested. Whether it is the calibration of the machine, or to develop standards for “normal” versus “abnormal” for a new test, blood samples from a wide range of people are needed in order to test the new machine or the new test.

The healthy volunteer studies conducted at Rochester Clinical Research typically involve drawing several tubes of blood from the study volunteer, for which the volunteer receives a small monetary stipend and the satisfaction of helping others by advancing medical science.
