FFPE Tissue Blocks
We source FFPE tissue blocks to meet your specific R&D project needs.
Improve Your Research With
FFPE Tissue Block Samples
We can source FFPE tissue blocks to meet your research project needs. We can obtain FFPE blocks for both normal and diseased tissue types.
Formalin Fixed Paraffin Embedded (FFPE) tissue blocks are widely used for clinical diagnostic purposes, but they also have important uses in life science research. Clinical remnant FFPE tissue blocks, or custom prepared FFPE blocks can be obtained according to your specific research requirements.
Example FFPE Block Requests
Cutting edge life science research often requires very specific biospecimen collection criteria.
We have the expertise to help you formulate the exact specifications to match your needs.
With our network of providers, we have the resources to supply even the most difficult to find samples.

Delivery of FFPE Tissue Blocks
We know the importance of delivering FFPE tissue blocks on time and in good condition. FFPE tissue blocks are typically shipped at room temperature, but they can also be shipped according to your specific requirements. We work with several different courier companies, which allows us to choose the best option for optimal shipping conditions and delivery speed.
Our Network of Biospecimen Providers
We work with a worldwide network of biospecimen providers, including academic/hospital biobanks and a variety of other providers. We only work with biospecimen providers who meet our strict standards with regards to biospecimen quality and ethical compliance.
It is our priority to ensure that we can source all types of biospecimens. As a result, we are constantly looking to add new providers to our network. If you are a biospecimen provider, please contact us for more information about joining our network.
