How it Works

Step 1

Tell Us Your Biospecimen Needs

Use our online form, email us, or call us with your sample requirements. One of our project managers will reply within one business day to confirm the request details.

Step 2

We Find the Biospecimens

We contact our network of pre-approved providers to find the biospecimens, negotiate prices and timelines, and then we propose the options to you.

Step 3

We Order the Biospecimens

If you choose to move forward, we order the samples from the selected provider(s), and manage the sample collection and processing.

Step 4

Biospecimens are Shipped to You

When the samples are ready, we arrange the shipment directly from the provider to your lab, and we confirm that the samples meet the agreed requirements.

  • Flexibility And Expertise to Meet Your Needs

    Sometimes you change your mind. Sometimes providers encounter difficulties. We navigate through every situation, smoothing any bumps in the road along the way.

  • Save Time and Effort

    Make a single request. Talk with one of our project managers to ensure it's fully specified. Then, we'll do all the rest of the work for you to source the biospecimens.

  • Reduce Your Costs

    We'll save you time, reducing your costs. In addition, our wide network of providers enables us to source biospecimens at a variety of price points, usually lower than you can find yourself.

  • Increase the Likelihood of Finding the Samples You Need

    We know that research projects have been delayed or abandoned because necessary biospecimens could not be obtained. Choosing SampleSmart to source your human biospecimens reduces the risk that this will happen to you.
