Fresh Tissue for Research
Fresh surgical tissue is available across multiple disease areas. Collections follow controlled handling and rapid processing to preserve cellular integrity.
Available fresh tissue types
- Tumor tissue (solid tumors, primary and metastatic)
- Normal adjacent tissue
- Fresh skin tissue (normal and diseased)
- Fresh diverticulitis tissue
- Fresh IBD tissue (Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis)
- Fresh endometriosis tissue
- Fresh inflammatory and autoimmune tissue
- Fresh infectious disease tissue (where clinically collected)
- Fresh bone marrow aspirate (hematological malignancy donors)
Processing options
- Fresh tissue in transport media
- Fresh whole blood
- Fresh bone marrow aspirate (hematological malignancy donors)
- Fresh tissue with matched blood products
- Custom containers, tubes, and handling protocols
Fresh Whole Blood and Matched Blood Products
Fresh blood samples can be collected from healthy donors or patients with specific diseases. Collections can be aligned to your protocol, including timing, fasting status, and tube types.
Available fresh blood products
- Fresh whole blood
- Serum
- Plasma
- Buffy coat
- Matched blood + tissue sets
Disease‑state fresh blood
- Oncology
- Endometriosis
- IBD (Crohn’s, UC)
- Autoimmune and inflammatory conditions
- Infectious diseases
- Healthy controls
Prospective Collections
Custom collections are available when your study requires specific inclusion criteria, timing, or processing. Partner sites can follow your protocol for:
- Time‑sensitive fresh tissue
- Fresh whole blood and matched samples
- Defined donor characteristics
- Specific disease stages or treatment histories
- Multi‑site or multi‑cohort studies
Organ Donor (non-transplantable organs) and Post‑Mortem Whole Body Donor Fresh Tissues
Fresh post‑mortem tissue is available through select partner sites for researchers requiring larger tissue volumes or specific anatomical regions not usually available surgically.
Post‑mortem fresh sample types
- Brain and spinal tissue
- Solid organs
- Musculoskeletal tissue
- Skin and soft tissue
- GI tract and other anatomical regions
Post‑mortem collections can be arranged with defined post‑mortem intervals and custom dissection or processing requirements.
