Human biospecimens for cancer research

Through our partners, we offer high quality, fresh, frozen, and FFPE human biospecimens for cancer research use. Samples available include from breast, colorectal, lung, kidney, head and neck cancers, as well as haematological cancers, with matched samples available on request. Matched samples available include whole blood, plasma, serum, PBMCs, bone marrow, bone marrow mononuclear cells, saliva, stool and urine. Samples can be delivered across Europe within 24 hours as per customer requirements.

Providing guaranteed compliance to international guidelines and strict adherence to local and international ethical regulations, our partners obtain samples directly from the original source with all biospecimens undergoing strict quality control prior to shipment. All collection sites are accessible for customer audits whereupon all on site documents and SOPs can be scrutinised.
