Accio Biobank Online is transparent about the dedicated sites we work with.

We encourage researchers to join us in direct, in depth technical discussions with the experienced tissue recovery and research managers at our partner sites with regards to the FFPE tissue samples you require.

We ensure that all aspects of your project are fully understood and agreed in advance, maximizing the quality and utility of the specimens provided for your experiments.

High‑Quality FFPE Tumor and Diseased Tissue for Biomedical Research

We provide ethically sourced, clinical record/pathology verified FFPE tissue blocks from a wide range of solid tumors and diseased tissues. Our FFPE specimens are collected through trusted US hospitals ensuring accurate diagnoses, transparency and ethical supply for your genomics, proteomics, biomarker discovery and assay development.

Whether you require single blocks, matched sets, or access to larger archived FFPE inventories, our team supports researchers with reliable, well‑annotated FFPE samples that meet the demands of modern translational science.

We can also collect organs and tissues from whole body donors and fix them in 10% NBF (or ship fresh or freeze), without paraffin embedding. A range of diseases and controls can be collected.
FFPE

FFPE Sample Types Available

We offer a broad selection of FFPE biospecimens, including:
  • FFPE tumor blocks from most solid tumor types
  • FFPE diseased tissue (e.g., IBD, diverticulitis, inflammatory conditions)
  • FFPE normal adjacent tissue
  • FFPE slides (unstained or H&E‑stained)
  • Matched FFPE + frozen + fresh tissue sets
  • Matched FFPE + blood biosamples (whole blood, plasma, serum, buffy coat)
All FFPE blocks are processed under SOPs which we can share with you, with pathology confirmation available where provided by the originating institution.

Oncology FFPE Blocks

We supply FFPE tumor blocks from a wide range of cancer types, including:
  • Breast
  • Lung (NSCLC, SCLC)
  • Colorectal
  • Pancreatic (PDAC, NET)
  • Ovarian
  • Prostate
  • Renal
  • Melanoma
  • Head and neck cancers
Where available, FFPE blocks can be accompanied by:
  • Pathology reports
  • Diagnosis and staging information
  • Treatment history
  • Matched frozen or fresh tumor tissue
  • Matched blood samples
These specimens support applications such as mutation profiling, IHC, biomarker validation, assay development and retrospective cohort studies. QC can include assessment of parameters such as % tumor, % necrosis and % normal if required.
Disease

Non‑Oncology FFPE Tissue

In addition to oncology samples, we can provide normal control FFPE blocks (usually normal adjacent, but sometimes also from non-transplantable organs from organ donors) from surgeries performed on donors with:
  • Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) (Crohn’s Disease, Ulcerative Colitis)
  • Diverticulitis
  • Cardiovascular diseases
  • Archival biopsies from a huge range of diseases (this is a non-exhaustive list) such as CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) and related disorders, as well as smaller numbers of rare or less frequently biopsied specimens such as:
  • Hemochromatosis
  • Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency
  • Hepatitis
  • Liver Fibrosis/ Hepatic Cirrhosis
  • CF (Cystic Fibrosis)
  • Lupus
  • Celiac Disease
  • Dermatitis
  • Spongiotic Dermatitis
  • Rheumatoid Arthritis
  • Hashimotos Thyroiditis
  • Lichen Sclerosis
  • Scleroderma
  • Graves Disease
  • Other diseases
Matched blood samples (fresh whole blood, plasma, serum, buffy coat) may also be available for integrated immunology and multi‑omic research.
FFPE

Matched FFPE, Frozen and Fresh Tissue Sets

For studies requiring multi‑modality analysis, we offer:
  • FFPE tumor + matched frozen tissue
  • FFPE tumor + matched fresh tissue (when prospectively collected) + matched freshblood
  • FFPE tumor + matched blood (whole blood, plasma, serum, buffy coat)
  • FFPE diseased tissue + matched blood
Matched sets are ideal for:
  • Genomic and transcriptomic comparisons
  • Proteomic and phosphoproteomic workflows
  • IHC and multiplex imaging
  • ctDNA and liquid biopsy correlation
  • Companion diagnostic development
  • Biomarker discovery and validation

Ethical Sourcing of High Quality FFPE Blocks
and Slides

All FFPE blocks are obtained under:
  • IRB‑approved protocols
  • Informed consent, or
  • IRB‑approved waiver of consent for diagnostic remnants
We maintain strict ethical, legal and regulatory standards, with uniquely transparent sourcing.
Disease

Clinical Annotation

Where available, FFPE blocks may include:
  • Pathology reports
  • Diagnosis and staging
  • Tumor grade
  • Treatment history
  • Demographics
  • Follow‑up information
Annotation varies by site and by fee.
Disease

Applications

Our FFPE blocks support a wide range of research areas, including:
  • Oncology and immuno‑oncology
  • Inflammatory diseases
  • Cardiovascular disease
  • Other conditions
  • Biomarker discovery and validation
  • IHC and multiplex immunofluorescence
  • NGS, WES, targeted sequencing and mutation profiling
  • Retrospective cohort studies
  • Companion diagnostic development
  • Assay development and verification
  • Multi‑omic integration with matched frozen or fresh tissue
