Frozen Tissue Samples
We source frozen tissue samples to meet your specific research needs.
Improve Your Research With
Frozen Human Tissue Samples
We can collect frozen human tissue samples to meet your research project needs. We can obtain samples from healthy or diseased donors according to your specific requirements.
Frozen human tissue samples are a great resource for life science researchers. Typically tissue samples are collected, and then snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen shortly after collection.
Frozen tissue can be used for many different research purposes, and analyzed using a number of different downstream assays.
Example Frozen Tissue Sample 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 Frozen Human Tissue Samples
We know the importance of delivering frozen tissue samples on time and in good condition. Frozen tissue samples are shipped on dry ice to ensure the samples remain frozen throughout the shipment. 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.
