SSR supplies porcine pancreas, also known as pig pancreas or pork pancreas, for research, enzyme extraction, pharmaceutical development, and further-manufacturing applications. Materials are sourced through SSR’s porcine supply programs and can be prepared, packaged, and delivered to customer specifications.
Common Applications for Porcine Pancreas
• Enzyme extraction and pancreatin-related workflows
• Pharmaceutical research and development
• Insulin-related research and therapeutic-development programs
• Life-science and biotech research using porcine pancreatic tissue
• Further-manufacturing inputs where porcine pancreas is an appropriate starting material
• Custom porcine tissue supply programs requiring project-specific handling, packaging, or traceability

What is porcine pancreas?
Porcine pancreas is pig pancreas tissue used in research, enzyme extraction, pharmaceutical development, and further-manufacturing workflows.
Do you supply pig pancreas in bulk?
SSR can support small or large porcine material needs and does not list a minimum order quantity. Pricing is quote-based and depends on material requirements, preparation, packaging, documentation, and logistics.
How is porcine pancreas stored?
SSR lists standard storage temperatures of 0°F (-17.8°C) for frozen products and 40°F (4.4°C) for refrigerated products when a refrigerated program is specified.
Can SSR provide traceability?
Yes. SSR can provide traceability through the supply chain back to the animal buying station or farm when required.
What is the lead time?
SSR Resources lists 5-7 days for established products that do not require development; confirm the current porcine pancreas lead time before publishing.
